Description
This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-6032)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to podman machine init command fails to verify the TLS certificate when downloading the VM images from an OCI registry. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52933)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the squashfs_xattr_lookup() function in fs/squashfs/xattr_id.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12718)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error in the tarfile module. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and modify some file metadata (e.g. last modified) with filter="data" or file permissions (chmod) with filter="tar" of files outside the extraction directory.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23337)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in src/jv.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Insecure temporary file (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-54661)
The vulnerability allows a local user to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of a predictable temporary file name in readline.sh. A local user can create a symbolic link from the temporary file to an arbitrary files on the system and overwrite it with the application's output, corrupting the file.
6) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4138)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following issue when extracting data from an archive in the tarfile module. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and overwrite arbitrary files outside the destination directory during extraction with filter="data"..
7) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4330)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following issue when extracting data from an archive in the tarfile module. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and overwrite arbitrary files outside the destination directory.
8) Expected behavior violation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4435)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to change expected behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when using a TarFile.errorlevel = 0 and extracting with a filter the documented behavior. A remote attacker can force the application to extract files that were meant to be skipped.
9) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4517)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error in the tarfile module when extracting files from an archive with filter="data". A remote attacker can pass specially crafted archive to the application and write files to arbitrary locations on the system outside the extraction directory.
10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21759)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the mld_send_cr() and igmp6_send() functions in net/ipv6/mcast.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22004)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the lec_send() function in net/atm/lec.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
12) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22121)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the __ext4_xattr_check_block(), __xattr_check_inode(), ext4_xattr_ibody_get(), ext4_xattr_ibody_list(), ext4_get_inode_usage(), ext4_xattr_ibody_find() and sizeof() functions in fs/ext4/xattr.c, within the ext4_iget_extra_inode() function in fs/ext4/inode.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
13) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23150)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the do_split() function in fs/ext4/namei.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
14) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-37738)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all() function in fs/ext4/xattr.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
15) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-38110)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write within the __mdiobus_c45_read() and __mdiobus_c45_write() functions in drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code.
16) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-48060)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the jv_string_vfmt() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
