CVE-2026-53800 in Rsync
Riassunto
di MITRE • 13/08/2026
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.
Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
