• rsync 3.5.0 released

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Fri Aug 14 06:40:09 2026

    Version
    3.5.0 of rsync has been released with a huge
    number of security fixes:

    This release fixes 33 security issues found during a focused audit of
    rsync's path handling and daemon protocol, a companion daemon-protocol
    fuzzing pass, and reports from external researchers -⁠-⁠ plus several robustness hardenings. CVE IDs were assigned by VulnCheck (CNA); the
    precise "introduced in" version ranges accompany each advisory, and
    many are much narrower than "everything before 3.5.0". Every fix ships
    with a regression test in the test suite that fails on the unfixed
    tree.
