In rsync 3.0.1 through 3.4.1, receive_xattr relies on an untrusted length value during a qsort call, leading to a receiver use-after-free. The victim must run rsync with -X (aka --xattrs). On Linux, many (but not all) common configurations are vulnerable. Non-Linux platforms are more widely vulnerable.

• azl3 rsync 3.4.1-2 on Azure Linux 3.0

• cbl2 rsync 3.4.1-2 on CBL Mariner 2.0
