Description

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a filter rule bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated clients to override module-level filter restrictions by supplying malicious --filter merge file directives. Attackers can inject client-side merge file directives during filter evaluation to introduce rules that supersede daemon module-level restrictions, gaining access to files the module filter was intended to exclude.
