A flaw was found in SSSD. The sssnssprotocolfillinitgr() function in the NSS responder (src/responder/nss/nssprotocolgrent.c) pre-allocates the reply packet for all group entries using ssspacketgrow() but does not shrink the packet when groups are skipped (non-POSIX, incomplete, or filtered groups). ssspacketgrow() uses tallocreallocsize(), which does not zero-fill newly allocated memory. The trailing unwritten bytes therefore contain uninitialized heap data from the sssdnss process and are transmitted to the client at the grown packet length. A local attacker can exploit this by sending SSSNSSINITGR (0x0026) requests to the world-writable NSS responder socket (/var/lib/sss/pipes/nss), receiving uninitialized heap content in the reply tail. Through heap grooming (for example, a preceding getpwnam query), the leak can disclose other users' cached directory records and process heap pointers. The leaked data is limited to the sssdnss heap (directory-level information); credentials reside in separate sssdpam and sssdbe processes. Reported via PSIRTSUPT-20553 by BreachX Zero Day Labs.
A flaw was found in libssh username handling for ProxyCommand expansion. The sshcheckusernamesyntax() validation path in src/misc.c used an incomplete dangerous-character filter for usernames expanded through %r. As a result, specially crafted usernames containing shell-significant characters could reach shell-evaluated ProxyCommand handling and influence shell expansion, exposing environment variables and causing unintended shell behavior. This issue affects clients that combine untrusted username input with ProxyCommand-style shell execution.
A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. The PBKDF2-SHA256 password verification function pbkdf2sha256pwcmp() in ldap/servers/plugins/pwdstorage/pbkdf2pwd.c uses standard memcmp() for hash comparison instead of the project's constant-time slapictmemcmp(). Every other password storage scheme in the same plugin uses slapictmemcmp(), which was introduced specifically to prevent timing side-channels (see CVE-2016-5405). This inconsistency allows a remote attacker with network access to the LDAP service to potentially infer partial hash information through repeated timing measurements of LDAP bind attempts. Practical exploitation is extremely difficult due to the PBKDF2 work factor (8192+ iterations, ~2ms computation time) which dominates and masks the nanosecond-level memcmp timing delta.
A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability, a heap out-of-bounds read, occurs during the cleanup of GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface) indicators when a trailing NULL termination is missing in the auth-indicators array. A remote attacker, under specific configurations involving GSSAPI authentication and a Kerberos environment, could exploit this to cause the SSH authentication path to crash or abort. This leads to a denial of service (DoS), impacting the availability of the SSH service.
A flaw was found in gnutls. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by presenting a specially crafted Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) response during a TLS handshake. Due to a logic error in how gnutls processes multi-record OCSP responses, a client with OCSP verification enabled may incorrectly accept a revoked server certificate, potentially leading to a compromise of trust.
A flaw was found in libssh in which a malicious SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) server can exploit this by sending a malformed 'longname' field within an SSHFXPNAME message during a file listing operation. This missing null check can lead to reading beyond allocated memory on the heap. This can cause unexpected behavior or lead to a denial of service (DoS) due to application crashes.
A flaw was found in libssh where it can attempt to open arbitrary files during configuration parsing. A local attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious configuration file or when the system is misconfigured. This vulnerability could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by causing the system to try and access dangerous files, such as block devices or large system files, which can disrupt normal operations.
A flaw was found in the libxml2 library. This uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability occurs when processing XML catalogs that contain repeated <nextCatalog> elements pointing to the same downstream catalog. A remote attacker can exploit this by supplying crafted catalogs, causing the parser to redundantly traverse catalog chains. This leads to excessive CPU consumption and degrades application availability, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
A flaw was identified in the RelaxNG parser of libxml2 related to how external schema inclusions are handled. The parser does not enforce a limit on inclusion depth when resolving nested <include> directives. Specially crafted or overly complex schemas can cause excessive recursion during parsing. This may lead to stack exhaustion and application crashes, creating a denial-of-service risk.
A vulnerability was found in the netavark package, a network stack for containers used with Podman. Due to dns.podman search domain being removed, netavark may return external servers if a valid A/AAAA record is sent as a response. When creating a container with a given name, this name will be used as the hostname for the container itself, as the podman's search domain is not added anymore the container is using the host's resolv.conf, and the DNS resolver will try to look into the search domains contained on it. If one of the domains contain a name with the same hostname as the running container, the connection will forward to unexpected external servers.
A flaw was found in the GIF parser of GdkPixbuf’s LZW decoder. When an invalid symbol is encountered during decompression, the decoder sets the reported output size to the full buffer length rather than the actual number of written bytes. This logic error results in uninitialized sections of the buffer being included in the output, potentially leaking arbitrary memory contents in the processed image.
A flaw was found in the interactive shell of the xmllint command-line tool, used for parsing XML files. When a user inputs an overly long command, the program does not check the input size properly, which can cause it to crash. This issue might allow attackers to run harmful code in rare configurations without modern protections.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the libopensc OpenPGP driver. A crafted USB device or smart card with malicious responses to the APDUs during the card enrollment process using the pkcs15-init tool may lead to out-of-bound rights, possibly resulting in arbitrary code execution.
A vulnerability was found in OpenSC, OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, and CTK. An attacker could use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response to APDUs.
The following problems were caused by insufficient control of the response APDU buffer and its length when communicating with the card.
A vulnerability was found in OpenSC, OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, and CTK. The problem is missing initialization of variables expected to be initialized (as arguments to other functions, etc.).
A vulnerability was found in OpenSC, OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, and CTK. An attacker could use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response to APDUs.
Insufficient or missing checking of return values of functions leads to unexpected work with variables that have not been initialized.
A vulnerability was found in pkcs15-init in OpenSC. An attacker could use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response to APDUs.
Insufficient or missing checking of return values of functions leads to unexpected work with variables that have not been initialized.
The Use After Free vulnerability was identified within the AuthentIC driver in OpenSC packages, particularly in the card enrollment process using pkcs15-init when a user or administrator enrolls or modifies cards. An attacker must have physical access to the computer system to take advantage of this flaw. The attack requires a crafted USB device or smart card to present the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs, which are considered high complexity and low severity. This manipulation can potentially allow for compromising card management operations during enrollment.

A flaw was found in the grub2-set-bootflag utility of grub2. After the fix of CVE-2019-14865, grub2-set-bootflag will create a temporary file with the new grubenv content and rename it to the original grubenv file. If the program is killed before the rename operation, the temporary file will not be removed and may fill the filesystem when invoked multiple times, resulting in a filesystem out of free inodes or blocks.
A vulnerability was found in the pthreadcreate() function in libcap. This issue may allow a malicious actor to use cause realpthreadcreate() to return an error, which can exhaust the process memory.
A flaw was found in KVM. When calling the KVMGETDEBUGREGS ioctl, on 32-bit systems, there might be some uninitialized portions of the kvmdebugregs structure that could be copied to userspace, causing an information leak.
A modified, unauthenticated server can send an unterminated string during the establishment of Kerberos transport encryption. When a libpq client application has a Kerberos credential cache and doesn't explicitly disable option "gssencmode", a server can cause libpq to over-read and report an error message containing uninitialized bytes from and following its receive buffer. If libpq's caller somehow makes that message accessible to the attacker, this achieves a disclosure of the over-read bytes. We have not confirmed or ruled out viability of attacks that arrange for a crash or for presence of notable, confidential information in disclosed bytes.
A flaw was found in PackageKit in the way some of the methods exposed by the Transaction interface examines files. This issue allows a local user to measure the time the methods take to execute and know whether a file owned by root or other users exists.
A flaw was found in unzip. The vulnerability occurs due to improper handling of Unicode strings, which can lead to a null pointer dereference. This flaw allows an attacker to input a specially crafted zip file, leading to a crash or code execution.
