      "value": "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."

      "value": "rsync anterior a 3.5.0 contiene una vulnerabilidad de complejidad algorítmica en la función hash_search() que permite a un atacante remoto causar una denegación de servicio al entregar una lista de archivos cuidadosamente construida. Un remitente puede explotar el comportamiento de peor caso de tiempo cuadrático en las búsquedas de hash para agotar los recursos de CPU del receptor con un número modesto de entradas manipuladas, causando una denegación de servicio sostenida."
