DescriptionNVD

Rsync version 3.4.2 and prior contain an integer overflow vulnerability in the compressed-token decoder where a 32-bit signed counter is not checked for overflow, allowing a malicious sender to trigger an overflow that causes the receiver process to read and return data from outside the intended buffer bounds. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to disclose process memory contents including environment variables, passwords, heap and stack data, and library memory pointers, significantly reducing ASLR effectiveness and facilitating further exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Information disclosure in Rsync 3.4.2 and prior allows an authenticated remote sender to leak receiver process memory through an integer overflow in the compressed-token decoder. The flaw exposes environment variables, credentials, heap and stack contents, and library pointers, weakening ASLR and enabling follow-on exploitation; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but Rsync 3.4.3 bundles the security fix.
