CVE-2026-53788

CVE-2026-53788 · rsync < 3.5.0 Newline Injection via name-converter uid/gid mapping

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a newline injection vulnerability in the name-converter uid/gid mapping interface that allows local attackers to forge protocol messages by creating user or group names containing newline characters. Attackers can inject malicious newline characters into names communicated over the pipe-based line-oriented protocol to cause the rsync daemon to process attacker-influenced data as legitimate protocol input, corrupting uid/gid mapping logic.
