How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:9 rsync to version 0:3.2.3-18.el9 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2022-8291.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsync package and not the rsync package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

zlib through 1.2.12 has a heap-based buffer over-read or buffer overflow in inflate in inflate.c via a large gzip header extra field. NOTE: only applications that call inflateGetHeader are affected. Some common applications bundle the affected zlib source code but may be unable to call inflateGetHeader (e.g., see the nodejs/node reference).
