      "value": "rsync 3.2.0 through 3.2.3 (openssl mode) and rsync-ssl through 3.4.4 (stunnel mode) contain a TLS certificate validation vulnerability that allows on-path attackers to intercept encrypted sessions by presenting self-signed or otherwise invalid certificates. Attackers can exploit the failure to validate server TLS certificates against a trusted CA or verify certificate hostname matching to decrypt or tamper with rsync session content without detection by the client."

      "value": "rsync 3.2.0 hasta 3.2.3 (modo OpenSSL) y rsync-ssl hasta 3.4.4 (modo stunnel) contienen una vulnerabilidad de validación de certificados TLS que permite a atacantes en la ruta interceptar sesiones cifradas presentando certificados autofirmados o de otro modo inválidos. Los atacantes pueden explotar la falla en validar certificados TLS del servidor contra una CA de confianza o verificar la coincidencia del nombre de host del certificado para descifrar o manipular el contenido de la sesión de rsync sin detección por parte del cliente."
