Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27516)
The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to sandbox breakout through attr filter selecting format method. A local user can execute arbitrary code on the system.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-26699)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in django.utils.text.wrap() and wordwrap template filter. A remote attacker can pass very long strings to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12087)
The vulnerability allows a remote server to write files to arbitrary locations on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when using "--inc-recursive" option. A remote attacker can can trick the victim into connecting to a rouge rsync server and write arbitrary files to arbitrary locations on the client system.
4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12088)
The vulnerability allows a remote server to write files to arbitrary locations on the system.
5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12747)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition when handling symbolic links. A local user can replace a file with a symbolic link, bypass implemented protection in rsync that prevents software from following symbolic links and read contents of arbitrary files on the system with elevated privileges.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56171)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables() and xmlSchemaBubbleIDCNodeTables() functions in xmlschemas.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML document to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
7) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24528)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when calculating ulog block size in kadmind. A remote user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24928)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the xmlSnprintfElements() function in valid.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML data to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
