High [CVE-2026-53795] Arbitrary file write via --temp-dir or --link-dest options
CVE-2026-53795Source published Source updated
rsync before 3.5.0 contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability that allows attackers to write files outside the intended destination tree by specifying an absolute path via --temp-dir or --link-dest options. The rename-confinement logic is bypassed when these options resolve to paths outside the destination tree, enabling attacker-controlled values to write files to arbitrary locations accessible to the rsync process. A flaw was found in rsync. This bypasses the rename-confinement logic, allowing the attacker to write files to arbitrary locations outside the intended destination tree, potentially leading to unauthorized data modification or system disruption. This occurs when a user is tricked into executing rsync with attacker-controlled absolute paths via the `--temp-dir` or…

- Mitigation guidance
- Do not pass untrusted values into --temp-dir or --link-dest. If you need those options, keep the destination (and those dirs) free of writes by untrusted users so a parent cannot be swapped to a symlink. Do not use --partial-dir or --inplace when pulling from an untrusted server. If rsyncd runs with use chroot = no, restrict who can connect.
