rsync daemon before 3.5.0 contains an IP address spoofing vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass IP-based access controls by sending a crafted PROXY protocol header with a forged source address. Attackers who can connect directly to the rsync daemon can inject a spoofed source IP in the PROXY protocol header to circumvent hosts allow/deny rules, gaining unauthorized access that would otherwise be blocked based on their real source address.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fee67ad5-a05e-11f1-ad2b-40b034429ecf advisory.

    rsync project reports:
    This release fixes 33 security issues found during a focused audit of rsync's path           handling and daemon protocol, a companion daemon-protocol fuzzing pass, and reports               from external researchers -- plus several robustness hardenings. CVE IDs were assigned               by VulnCheck (CNA); the precise introduced in version ranges accompany each advisory,               and many are much narrower than everything before 3.5.0. Every fix ships with a               regression test in the test suite that fails on the unfixed tree.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - rsync daemon before 3.5.0 contains an IP address spoofing vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote     attackers to bypass IP-based access controls by sending a crafted PROXY protocol header with a forged     source address. Attackers who can connect directly to the rsync daemon can inject a spoofed source IP in     the PROXY protocol header to circumvent hosts allow/deny rules, gaining unauthorized access that would     otherwise be blocked based on their real source address. (CVE-2026-53791)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
