Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45339)
The vulnerability allows a local user to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure link following when writing log files. A local user can point a symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with the log data.
2) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52533)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error in gio/gsocks4aproxy.c when handling responses from SOCKS4 proxy. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to a malicious SOCKS4 proxy server, trigger an off-by-one error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4373)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the g_string_insert_unichar() function in glib/gstring.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-6021)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the xmlBuildQName() function in tree.c . A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-6965)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing aggregated terms. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application where the number of aggregate terms exceeds the number of columns available, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22871)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when handling chunked data in net/http. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
7) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-40909)
The vulnerability allows a local user to tamper with application's behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition if a directory handle is open at thread creation. A local user can exploit the race and force the application to load code or access files from unexpected location.
8) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-47268)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow within the ping command when handling ICMP Echo Reply packets. A remote attacker can trick the victim to ping a malicious server, trigger an integer overflow and crash the application.
9) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-47273)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in package_index.py. A remote attacker can trick the victim into installing a specially crafted script and overwrite arbitrary files on the system, leading to code execution.
10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49794)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xmlSchematronGetNode() function when processing XPath expressions in Schematron schema elements schematron.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49796)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the xmlSchematronFormatReport() function when processing sch:name elements in schematron.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and crash the application.
