Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use of Uninitialized Variable (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12085)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to information leak when comparing file checksums. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the daemon and read 1 byte of uninitialized memory from stack.
2) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-5914)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the archive_read_format_rar_seek_data() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-6020)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions within the pam_namespace module when handling user-controlled paths. A local user can use specially crafted symlinks and race conditions to execute arbitrary code as root.
4) 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.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-7425)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xsltSetSourceNodeFlags() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
6) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-8941)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following issue in the pam_namespace module. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU111389 (CVE-2025-6020).
