Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2026:26408 - Security Advisory Issued: 2026-06-16 Updated: 2026-06-16 RHSA-2026:26408 - Security Advisory Overview Updated Packages Synopsis Important: rsync security update Type/Severity Security Advisory: Important Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory. View affected systems Topic An update for rsync is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. Description The rsync utility enables the users to copy and synchronize files locally or across a network. Synchronization with rsync is fast because rsync only sends the differences in files over the network instead of sending whole files. The rsync utility is also used as a mirroring tool. Security Fix(es): rsync: rsync: Remote memory disclosure via integer overflow in compressed-token decoding (CVE-2026-43618) rsync: TOCTOU symlink race condition allowing local privilege escalation in daemon mode without chroot. (CVE-2026-29518) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
