Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11187)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling DNS zones with numerous records in the Additional section. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by sending multiple queries to he affected server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1094)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in the database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of quoting syntax in PostgreSQL libpq functions PQescapeLiteral(), PQescapeIdentifier(), PQescapeString(), and PQescapeStringConn() and within the command line utility programs  when client_encoding is BIG5 and server_encoding is one of EUC_TW or MULE_INTERNAL. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary SQL queries in the database.

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53104)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error within the uvc_parse_format() function in drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_driver.c. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


4) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1244)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling custom "man" URI schemes. A remote attacker can trick the victim into clicking on a specially crafted URL and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-49043)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xmlXIncludeAddNode() function in xinclude.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application or potentially execute arbitrary code.
