CVE-2026-70453
Last modified
CVE-2026-70453 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. rsync before 3.5.0 contains an algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the hash_search() function that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by delivering a carefully constructed file list. A sender can exploit the quadratic-time worst-case behavior in hash lookups to exhaust receiver CPU resources with a modest number of crafted entries, causing a sustained denial of service.. EPSS estimates a 0.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
