rsync 3.4.3 fixes 6 CVEs openwall.com/lists/oss-secur…
3 CVEs require a non-default daemon configuration to reach, 2 are reachable from a normal pull or a normal authenticated daemon connection, 1 is reachable only when RSYNC_PROXY is set. CVSS scores up to 8.1.
rsync 3.4.4 has regression fixes for the rsync 3.4.3 security release openwall.com/lists/oss-secur…
but fixes no new security issues. There will be a 3.5.0 release soon with a lot more security updates. Created a rsync-security mailing list.
April 2026 was the busiest month for oss-security in 11 years. 311 messages posted. We surpassed the XZ backdoor spike of March-April 2024. We last had 300 in April 2015 when we still had CVE assignment via the list. Now we're back without that incentive. openwall.com/lists/oss-secur…
