rsync 2.0.0 < 3.5.0 Connection Slot Exhaustion DoS via Handshake Stall
CVE-2026-70464 is fixed in 5 products on 1 platform, first by RHSA-2026:67463, released August 13, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
rsync daemon 2.0.0 before 3.5.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust daemon connection slots by stalling the handshake process before or after module selection without triggering the I/O timeout. Attackers can open many simultaneous connections and trickle data at the minimum rate to avoid timeout, or stall entirely before module selection where no timeout applies, consuming all available connection slots and denying service to legitimate clients.
