FWIW, Rsync dev has written this blog post from his point of view: https://medium.com/@tridge60/rsync-and-outrage-d9849599e5a0
Barely skimmed it, but it says stuff like
which is sold-in-dumpster-alley quality copium, and also that version 3.5 is going to "raise the bar enormously with regards to rsync security", so I guess we're looking at a notably vibe coded security model for rsync going forward?
That's a horrifying concept oh no.
