rsync CVE-2022-29154 and RPKI Validation

Has anyone done an analysis of the rsync CVE-2022-29154 (which "allows malicious remote servers to 
write arbitrary files inside the directories of connecting peers") and its potential impact on RPKI 
validators? It looks like both Debian [1] and Ubuntu [2] opted *not* to patch rsync in their 
release/security package streams.

Are rsync-based (or rsync-fallback, which I believe is still required for all RPKI validators?) RPKI 
validators all vulnerable to takeover from this, or is there some reason why this doesn't apply to 
RPKI validation?

Thanks,
Matt
