{"id":"AZL-95837","summary":"CVE-2026-53794 affecting package rsync for versions less than 3.5.0-1","details":"rsync before 3.5.0 contains a logic error in --max-alloc handling that allows a sender or configuration setting --max-alloc=0 to disable allocation sanity checks entirely rather than enforcing a zero-byte cap. Attackers can exploit this flaw to cause the receiver to attempt unbounded memory allocations for file list and data structures, potentially exhausting available memory and causing a denial of service.","modified":"2026-09-03T05:27:10Z","published":"2026-08-13T15:19:43Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-53794"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53794"}],"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-95837.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
