Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

GHSA-p6m2-r3w9-mpxw affects the Go module github.com/rclone/rclone before 1.75.1. When rclone's local backend runs with symlink support enabled (--links or links=true), a remote client sending a crafted HTTP Range request for a symlink object can make the request handler panic. An unauthenticated attacker needs only network access to a served symlink, and the panic fails that single request. Upgrade to 1.75.1 or later.
