Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in Lib/email/_header_value_parser.py. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and manipulate headers in an email message.
2) Untrusted search path (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4802)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of an untrusted LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. A local user can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to a malicious binary and execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges.
The vulnerability affects statically linked setuid binaries that call dlopen (including internal dlopen calls after setlocale or calls to NSS functions such as getaddrinfo).
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) 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.
5) 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.
6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45918)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in tgetstr in tinfo/lib_termcap.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file with the affected application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-36191)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within shell.c. A local user can send a specially crafted request to the database to trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
