Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-8194)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in the “tarfile” module when handling tar archives with negative offsets. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted tar archive to the application and consume all available system resources, resulting in a deadlock and a denial of service.
2) Return of Wrong Status Code (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-5987)
CWE-ID: CWE-393 - Return of Wrong Status Code
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of the wrong status code returned by the OpenSSL within the chacha20_poly1305_set_key() function when using the ChaCha20 cipher with the OpenSSL library. A remote attacker can force the library to partially initialize cipher context, leading to an undefined application's behavior.
