Receiver-side use-after-free in rsync 3.0.1 through 3.4.1 lets a malicious peer corrupt memory on a host running rsync with the -X (--xattrs) option. The receive_xattr function trusts an attacker-supplied length value during a qsort operation, which a malicious sender/server can abuse to crash the receiver or potentially achieve code execution; Linux hosts are vulnerable in many common configurations and non-Linux platforms more broadly. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.01%), and SSVC scores exploitation as none, indicating a real-but-not-urgent memory-safety bug rather than a mass-exploited threat.
Samba since version 3.5.0 and before 4.6.4, 4.5.10 and 4.4.14 is vulnerable to remote code execution vulnerability, allowing a malicious client to upload a shared library to a writable share, and. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Actively exploited in the wild (cisa kev) and public exploit code available.
The RPC code generator in Samba 3.x before 3.4.16, 3.5.x before 3.5.14, and 3.6.x before 3.6.4 does not implement validation of an array length in a manner consistent with validation of array memory. Rated critical severity (CVSS 10.0), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and EPSS exploitation probability 76.8%.
Command injection in Samba (CWE-78) carries a critical CVSS 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and is fixed in Alpine Linux package samba 4.23.8-r0, with Red Hat shipping errata RHSA-2026:22644, 22963, 25049, and 25979 for Enterprise Linux 6/7/9 and OpenShift Container Platform 4.0. The flaw allows remote attackers to inject operating-system commands against vulnerable Samba deployments, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. EPSS is modest at 0.23% (46th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the unauthenticated network attack surface of Samba makes urgent patching warranted.
WORM protection bypass in Samba's vfs_worm VFS module allows authenticated share users to defeat data retention controls by renaming a newly created file over an existing WORM-protected file. Affected users are those operating Samba deployments that have explicitly enabled the vfs_worm module for write-once, read-many data protection - such as compliance, archival, or audit log shares. An attacker with low-privilege write access can silently overwrite files that should be immutable post-grace-period, with high integrity impact (CVSS I:H). No public exploit or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis.
Access control bypass in Samba allows authenticated SMB users who hold write permissions on the underlying filesystem to create or delete NTFS-style reparse point metadata on shares configured with 'read only = yes', defeating the read-only intent of the export. Because the necessary access checks are missing at the SMB layer, an attacker can change how files behave when accessed over SMB - for example, converting a regular file into a symbolic link or another reparse-point type - yielding an integrity and availability impact (CVSS 7.1). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation as 'none', non-automatable, with partial technical impact.
Trust-store poisoning in Samba's certificate auto-enrollment lets an adjacent-network attacker install an attacker-controlled CA certificate when auto-enrollment is enabled. Because Samba retrieves the CA certificate over plaintext HTTP and adds it to the local trust store without verifying authenticity, a man-in-the-middle can have a rogue CA trusted system-wide, enabling interception or spoofing of otherwise trusted TLS communications. The issue carries CVSS 8.0 with high confidentiality and integrity impact and a changed scope; EPSS is 0.00% and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
A flaw was found in Samba. The smbd service daemon does not pick up group membership changes when re-authenticating an expired SMB session. This issue can expose file shares until clients disconnect and then connect again.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
Arbitrary file write outside the intended destination in rsync's client-side `--safe-links` handling allows a malicious or compromised rsync server to bypass the symlink safety check via a path-traversal flaw (CWE-22). The client fails to recursively verify whether a symbolic-link target supplied by the server itself contains a nested symlink, so a controlled server can place files anywhere the rsync process can write. A detailed advisory was published by Google's security-research team (GHSA-p5pg-x43v-mvqj) as part of the January 2025 rsync vulnerability cluster, but the issue is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is moderate at 2.89% (86th percentile).
Server-to-client path traversal in rsync lets a malicious or compromised rsync server write files outside the client's intended destination directory by abusing the `--inc-recursive` incremental-recursion mode. Because the server can negotiate `--inc-recursive` even when the client does not request it, missing symlink validation combined with per-file-list deduplication allows arbitrary file placement on the connecting client. Publicly available exploit code exists, EPSS is 3.19% (87th percentile), and Red Hat has shipped fixes, but it is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
