Vulnerability Title
rsync < 3.5.0 Algorithmic Complexity DoS via hash_search()
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
rsync before 3.5.0 contains an algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the hash_search() function that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by delivering a carefully constructed file list. A sender can exploit the quadratic-time worst-case behavior in hash lookups to exhaust receiver CPU resources with a modest number of crafted entries, causing a sustained denial of service.
