Rsync vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Rsync is made by Samba. We track 17 published vulnerabilities in it, across 117 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. If you run Rsync, keep it on a version the vendor still supports.
We keep watching the known-exploited list.

Which Rsync flaws are most likely to be used?
Ranked by the latest exploit-likelihood forecast: the chance each flaw is used in an attack in the next 30 days. A high severity score on its own doesn't tell you that. Flaws shared by many other makers' products are left out.
- 72%CVE-2024-12084Critical
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon.
- 8.8%CVE-2024-12085High
A flaw was found in rsync which could be triggered when rsync compares file checksums.
- 6.5%CVE-2014-9512Medium
rsync 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in the synchronization path.
- 6.4%CVE-2018-5764High
The parse_arguments function in options.c in rsyncd in rsync before 3.1.3 does not prevent multiple --protect-args uses, which allows remote attackers to bypass an argument-sanitization protection mechanism.
- 5.8%CVE-2017-16548Critical
The receive_xattr function in xattrs.c in rsync 3.1.2 and 3.1.3-development does not check for a trailing '\0' character in an xattr name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer...
- 5.0%CVE-2008-1720High
Buffer overflow in rsync 2.6.9 to 3.0.1, with extended attribute (xattr) support enabled, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
- 4.7%CVE-2024-12088Medium
A flaw was found in rsync. When using the `--safe-links` option, the rsync client fails to properly verify if a symbolic link destination sent from the server contains another symbolic link within it.
- 4.2%CVE-2014-2855High
The check_secret function in authenticate.c in rsync 3.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a user name which does not exist in the secrets file.
- 3.3%CVE-2017-17434Critical
The daemon in rsync 3.1.2, and 3.1.3-development before 2017-12-03, does not check for fnamecmp filenames in the daemon_filter_list data structure (in the recv_files function in receiver.c) and also does not apply...
- 3.2%CVE-2011-1097Medium
rsync 3.x before 3.0.8, when certain recursion, deletion, and ownership options are used, allows remote rsync servers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute...

1 new flaw affects software Acme tracks
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths (s2length) in the code. When MAX_DIGEST_LEN exceeds the fixed SUM_LENGTH (16 bytes), an attacker can write out of bounds in the sum2 buffer.
