or across a network. Synchronization with rsync is fast because rsync only
sends the differences in files over the network instead of sending whole
files. The rsync utility is also used as a mirroring tool.

* rsync: remote arbitrary files write inside the directories of connecting
peers (CVE-2022-29154)
