Echo: rsync: security update to 3.5.0+ds1-1

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 463927

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - rsync 2.3.3 before 3.5.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a malicious sender to escape
 the module root by exploiting symlinks within the module file tree when using --partial-dir or --backup-
 dir options. Attackers with write access to place a symlink under the module root, or who can exploit a
 pre-existing trusted symlink, can direct file writes to locations outside the intended module root,
 achieving arbitrary file write relative to the module root parent. (CVE-2026-70460)

Solution

Update the rsync library and its related packages to version 3.5.0+ds1-1 or later.
