Description

This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22868)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the jws package does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling malformed tokens. A remote attacker can pass a malformed JWT token to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) 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.


3) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12905)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure link following in index.js. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted file to the application and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7592)

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 within the 'http.cookies' standard library module when parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters in the cookie value. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8176)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling XML content. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML content 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) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43855)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the md_end_flush(), submit_flushes() and md_submit_flush_data() functions in drivers/md/md.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) 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.


8) 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.


9) 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.


10) 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.


11) 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.


12) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27363)

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 pass a specially crafted font to the application that is using an affected version of the library, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
