{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-79775","details":"rclone versions \u003e= v1.72.0 and \u003c= v1.74.4 (fixed in v1.75.0) contain multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities in the archive backend's SquashFS parser, which relies on the github.com/diskfs/go-diskfs dependency. The parser fails to validate attacker-controlled superblock and metadata values before use. An attacker who can place or modify a SquashFS image in storage exposed through an rclone :archive: remote can craft a malicious image that triggers an integer division-by-zero panic (zero block size), an out-of-bounds slice panic (out-of-range inode metadata offset), or a non-progress CPU loop (truncated metadata stream). Variants 1 and 2 terminate the rclone process and, via 'rclone serve sftp', can crash the entire SFTP server; variant 3 causes sustained CPU consumption. Parsing is lazy, so a victim or remote client must address or descend into the malicious archive object to trigger it.","modified":"2026-09-02T19:36:49.960227674Z","published":"2026-08-25T16:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-79775"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-79775"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-79775"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/rclone/rclone/security/advisories/GHSA-6jcg-q3wp-x2f4"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rclone","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rclone?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.36-3","1.36-3ubuntu0.1","1.36-3ubuntu0.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.36-3ubuntu0.2","binary_name":"golang-github-ncw-rclone-dev"},{"binary_name":"rclone","binary_version":"1.36-3ubuntu0.2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-79775.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rclone","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rclone?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.47.0+ex1-6","1.47.0+ex1-7","1.49.5-2","1.49.5-3","1.50.2-2","1.50.2-2ubuntu0.1","1.50.2-2ubuntu0.2","1.50.2-2ubuntu0.2+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"golang-github-rclone-rclone-dev","binary_version":"1.50.2-2ubuntu0.2+esm1"},{"binary_version":"1.50.2-2ubuntu0.2+esm1","binary_name":"rclone"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-79775.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rclone","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rclone?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.53.3-1","1.53.3-2","1.53.3-4","1.53.3-4ubuntu1","1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.1","1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.2","1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.3","1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.3+esm1","1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.4","1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.4+esm1","1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.5","1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.5+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"golang-github-rclone-rclone-dev","binary_version":"1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.5+esm1"},{"binary_name":"rclone","binary_version":"1.53.3-4ubuntu1.22.04.5+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-79775.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rclone","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rclone?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fnoble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.60.1+dfsg-2build1","1.60.1+dfsg-3","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.1","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.2","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.3","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.4","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.4+esm1","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.5","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.5+esm1","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.6","1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.6+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.6+esm1","binary_name":"golang-github-rclone-rclone-dev"},{"binary_name":"rclone","binary_version":"1.60.1+dfsg-3ubuntu0.24.04.6+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-79775.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rclone","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/rclone?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fresolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.60.1+dfsg-4ubuntu2","1.60.1+dfsg-4ubuntu3","1.60.1+dfsg-4ubuntu3.1","1.60.1+dfsg-4ubuntu3.1+esm1","1.60.1+dfsg-4ubuntu3.2","1.60.1+dfsg-4ubuntu3.2+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"golang-github-rclone-rclone-dev","binary_version":"1.60.1+dfsg-4ubuntu3.2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"rclone","binary_version":"1.60.1+dfsg-4ubuntu3.2+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-79775.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
