Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9230)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using password based encryption. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that password based (PWRI) encryption support in CMS messages is enabled. 


2) Covert Timing Channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9231)

CWE-ID: CWE-385 - Covert Timing Channel

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to timing side-channel in SM2 signature computations on 64 bit ARM platforms. A remote attacker can recover the private key and decrypt data.


3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56433)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to shadow-utils establishes a default /etc/subuid behavior (e.g., uid 100000 through 165535 for the first user account) that can realistically conflict with the uids of users defined on locally administered networks, potentially leading to account takeover by leveraging newuidmap for access to an NFS home directory (or same-host resources in the case of remote logins by these local network users).
