{"id":"AZL-95768","summary":"CVE-2026-53800 affecting package rsync for versions less than 3.5.0-1","details":"rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability in the --remove-source-files feature that allows attackers with symlink creation access to cause arbitrary file deletion. Attackers can atomically substitute a symlink for a source file between transfer completion and the unlink() call, causing rsync to delete the symlink target rather than the intended source file.","modified":"2026-08-30T05:26:50Z","published":"2026-08-13T15:19:52Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-53800"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53800"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rsync","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/rsync"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.5.0-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-95768.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
