Description
This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9675)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in cache mounts. A local user can execute a 'RUN' instruction in a Container file to mount an arbitrary directory from the host into the container as long as those files can be accessed by the user running Buildah.
2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53197)
The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write error within the snd_usb_create_quirk(), snd_usb_extigy_boot_quirk(), mbox2_setup_48_24_magic() and snd_usb_mbox2_boot_quirk() functions in sound/usb/quirks.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 against Android devices.
3) 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.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-0624)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the grub_net_search_config_file() function. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the system.
5) 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.
6) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9676)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). A local user can create a symbolic link to an arbitrary file on the system, force the library to read it and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36620)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in daemon/images/image_history.go. A local user can trigger crash the application.
8) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50302)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the hid_alloc_report_buf() function in drivers/hid/hid-core.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild against Android devices.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27144)
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 parsing JWS and JWE input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) 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.
11) 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.
12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22869)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the ssh package when handling clients that complete the key exchange slowly, or not at all. A remote user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24201)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted web page, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
