Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27516)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
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) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12087)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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.
3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12088)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote server to write files to arbitrary locations on the system.
4) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12747)
CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
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.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56171)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
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.
6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24528)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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.
7) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24928)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
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.
