Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-61725)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/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 the ParseAddress function in net/mail does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can compose a specially crafted email message that triggers excessive CPU consumption leading to denial of service. 


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-45582)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A local user can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-58183)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/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 in archive/tar due to the tar.Reader does not set a maximum size on the number of sparse region data blocks in GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9714)

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/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 uncontrolled recursion in XPath evaluation within the xmlXPathRunEval() function in xpath.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crated XML data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-58186)

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/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 in net/http due to the application does not limit the number of cookies sent in the request. A remote attacker can send a lot of very small cookies such as "a=;" and cause large memory consumption. 


6) Improper Output Neutralization for Logs (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-12755)

CWE-ID: CWE-117 - Improper Output Neutralization for Logs

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of special elements when written to log files. A remote attacker can inject data into log messages on the system.
