Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-53905)

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 tar.vim plugin. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted archive and overwrite arbitrary files on the system, leading to remote code execution. 


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-53906)

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 zip.vim plugin. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted archive and overwrite arbitrary files on the system, leading to remote code execution. 


3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-6395)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when a TLS 1.3 handshake involves a Hello Retry Request and the second Client Hello omits the PSK which was present in the first Client Hello. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-32990)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when the certtool program is invoked with a template file with a number of string pairs for a single keyword. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-32988)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when exporting a certificate with an otherName in the SAN (subject alternative name) extension. A remote attacker can trick the victim into export a specially crafted certificate, trigger a double free error on the ASN.1 structure and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
