Summary
rsync 3.1.0 < 3.5.0 Signed Integer Overflow via MSG_IO_TIMEOUT
Details

rsync 3.1.0 before 3.5.0 contains a signed integer overflow vulnerability in the I/O timeout implementation that allows attackers to permanently disable connection timeouts by injecting MSGIOTIMEOUT messages carrying non-positive (zero or negative) values. Attackers can craft malicious MSGIOTIMEOUT messages that cause the timeout variable to wrap to a non-positive value, preventing the timeout check from firing and enabling idle or stalled connections to hold daemon slots indefinitely, leading to resource exhaustion.
