Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper privilege management (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-54518)

CWE-ID: CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges.

The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management in x86 CPU opcode cache handling when executing code on affected AMD Fam17h CPUs. A local user can execute code to escalate privileges.

The issue can permit escalation across privilege boundaries including userspace to kernel and guest to host, and only AMD Fam17h CPUs based on the Zen2 microarchitecture are believed to be affected.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43112)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in cifs_sanitize_prepath when parsing path strings containing only delimiters or no path content. A local user can supply a crafted path string to cause a denial of service.

The issue can be triggered by an empty string or a string such as "/".


3) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46483)

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVSSv4: 1.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands.

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of special elements in tar#Vimuntar() in runtime/autoload/tar.vim when decompressing .tgz archives via :Vimuntar on Unix-like systems. A remote attacker can supply a crafted archive filename to execute arbitrary shell commands.

User interaction is required to open the crafted file and invoke the non-routine :Vimuntar command, and only Unix-like systems with the tar plugin enabled are vulnerable.
