Disclaimer: Maybe Arch Linux does patch the version of the Arch package
3.4.0-1.

Seemingly there is no patch:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/rsync/-/tree/3.4.0-1?ref_type=tags
But there were some regressions
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/rsync/-/tree/3.4.0-2?ref_type=tags
and there's a new release
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/rsync/-/tree/3.4.1-1?ref_type=tags
