A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths (s2length) in the code. When MAXDIGESTLEN exceeds the fixed SUMLENGTH (16 bytes), an attacker can write out of bounds in the sum2 buffer.

A buffer-underflow vulnerability exists in GLib’s GVariant parser, specifically within bytestringparse() and stringparse(). The parser uses signed 32-bit integers (gint) as loop indices (i and j). When extremely large strings are parsed, these counters overflow into negative values, causing the parser to write to memory before the start of the allocated buffer (str[j++]). This results in a classic out-of-bounds write condition. Because GVariant parsing is often performed on attacker-influenced data, a remote attacker can trigger heap corruption, causing a crash or potentially achieving code execution. This flaw has been confirmed by maintainers and patched upstream.

Impact

The Keylime registrar does not enforce mutual TLS (mTLS) client certificate authentication since version 7.12.0. The registrar's TLS context is configured with ssl.CERTOPTIONAL instead of ssl.CERTREQUIRED, allowing any client to connect to protected API endpoints without presenting a valid client certificate.

Who is impacted: - All Keylime deployments running versions 7.12.0 through 7.13.0 - Environments where the registrar HTTPS port (default 8891) is network-accessible to untrusted clients

What an attacker can do: - List all registered agents (GET /v2/agents/) - enumerate the entire agent inventory - Retrieve agent details (GET /v2/agents/{uuid}) - obtain public TPM keys, certificates, and network locations (IP/port) of any agent - Delete any agent (DELETE /v2/agents/{uuid}) - remove agents from the registry, disrupting attestation services

Note: The exposed TPM data (EK, AK, certificates) consists of public keys and certificates. Private keys remain protected within TPM hardware. The HMAC secret used for challenge-response validation is stored in the database but is not exposed via the API.

Affected versions: >= 7.12.0, <= 7.13.0

Fixed versions: 7.12.2, >= 7.13.1

Patches

A patch for the affected released versions is available. It removes the line that override the configuration of ssl.verifymode, leaving the CERTREQUIRED value set by webutil.initmtls():

Users should upgrade to the patched version once it is released.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible, apply one of the following mitigations:

1. Network isolation (Recommended)

Restrict access to the registrar HTTPS port (default 8891) using firewall rules to allow only trusted hosts (verifier, tenant):

Example using iptables iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8891 -s <verifierip> -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8891 -s <tenantip> -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8891 -j DROP

2. Reverse proxy with mTLS enforcement

Deploy a reverse proxy (nginx, HAProxy) in front of the registrar that enforces client certificate authentication:

Example nginx configuration server { listen 8891 ssl; sslcertificate /path/to/server.crt; sslcertificatekey /path/to/server.key; sslclientcertificate /path/to/ca.crt; sslverifyclient on; # Enforce client certificates

location / { proxypass https://localhost:8892; # Internal registrar port } }

A flaw was found in libarchive. On 32-bit systems, an integer overflow vulnerability exists in the zisofs block pointer allocation logic. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted ISO9660 image, which can lead to a heap buffer overflow. This could potentially allow for arbitrary code execution on the affected system.

A vulnerability identified in NetIQ Advance Authentication that leaks sensitive server information. This issue affects NetIQ Advance Authentication version before 6.3.5.1

A flaw was found in gnutls. Servers configured with RSA-PSK (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman – Pre-Shared Key) wrongfully matched usernames containing a NUL character with truncated usernames. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted username, leading to an authentication bypass. This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access by circumventing the authentication process.

A flaw was found in the Samba printing subsystem. Samba passes the client-controlled job description string to the command configured with the "print command" setting via the "%J" substitution character without escaping shell meta characters. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted print job description that contains unescaped shell characters. This could lead to remote code execution on the affected system.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. When a trust relationship is configured between FreeIPA and Active Directory, Active Directory users can bypass authentication for FreeIPA services, including the portal, SMB server, and LDAP directory. This is possible by impersonating a client name in the Ticket Granting Service (TGS) due to FreeIPA services not verifying Privilege Attribute Certificate (PAC) certificates. This vulnerability could allow an authenticated Active Directory user to escalate their privileges within the FreeIPA domain.

An attacker can leverage sudo's -R (--chroot) option to run arbitrary commands as root, even if they are not listed in the sudoers file. Sudo versions 1.9.14 to 1.9.17 inclusive are affected.

NGINX ngxhttpproxyv2module and ngxhttpgrpcmodule vulnerability

A flaw in GnuTLS DTLS handshake parsing allows malformed fragments with zero length and non-zero offset, leading to an integer underflow during reassembly and resulting in an out-of-bounds read. This issue is remotely exploitable and may cause information disclosure or denial of service.

A flaw was found in the X.Org X server. This out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the XKB geometry processing, specifically within the CheckSetGeom() and XkbAddGeomKeyAlias functions, allows an attacker to read uninitialized or out-of-bounds memory. An attacker with a connection to the X11 server, either locally or remotely, can exploit this without user interaction. This could lead to the disclosure of memory contents or cause a denial of service by crashing the server.

A flaw was found in the X.Org X server. This vulnerability, an out-of-bounds read, affects the XKB (X Keyboard Extension) modifier map handling. An attacker with access to the X11 server can exploit this by sending a malformed request, which causes the server to read beyond its intended memory boundaries. This can lead to the exposure of sensitive information or cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

A flaw was found in GLib. A state confusion issue exists in gdbusnodeinfonewforxml() in the gio/gdbusintrospection.c file when processing malformed D-Bus introspection XML, specifically with a node element nested within other elements like method, signal, property or arg. This issue can cause an unsigned integer overflow and lead to an out-of-bounds read, resulting in a denial of service.

A flaw was found in libssh versions built with OpenSSL versions older than 3.0, specifically in the sshkdf() function responsible for key derivation. Due to inconsistent interpretation of return values where OpenSSL uses 0 to indicate failure and libssh uses 0 for success—the function may mistakenly return a success status even when key derivation fails. This results in uninitialized cryptographic key buffers being used in subsequent communication, potentially compromising SSH sessions' confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

A flaw was found in libssh server-side GSSAPIKeyExchange authorization. In sshpacketuserauthrequest() in src/messages.c, the gssapi-keyex login path granted success after Kerberos authentication without dispatching the callback that verifies whether the authenticated principal is authorized for the requested local user. On servers with GSSAPIKeyExchange enabled, an authenticated client can therefore log in as an arbitrary local user if the missing principal-to-user authorization check is relied upon for access control.

A privilege escalation flaw was found in FreeIPA. The uniqueness constraint enforced on Kerberos principal name attributes in the 389-ds directory server does not properly account for equivalent representations of the same principal name, allowing a user with sufficient LDAP write privileges to create a service principal that impersonates an existing privileged one. This can lead to unauthorized acquisition of Kerberos service tickets for sensitive services, potentially resulting in full domain compromise.

A flaw was found in GLib. An off-by-one error can occur in the gkeyfilegetlocalestringlist function in the gkeyfile.c file when loading a key file with an empty value. This flaw can cause an out-of-bounds access of 1 byte or a denial of service when the out-of-bounds access crosses a page boundary.

A double-free vulnerability exists in GnuTLS (confirmed in version 3.8.9) due to incorrect ownership handling in the export logic of Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries containing an otherName. If the type-id OID is invalid or malformed, GnuTLS will call asn1deletestructure() on an ASN.1 node it does not own, leading to a double-free condition when the parent function or caller later attempts to free the same structure. This vulnerability can be triggered using only public GnuTLS APIs and may result in denial of service or memory corruption, depending on allocator behavior.

A heap-buffer-overflow (off-by-one) flaw was found in the GnuTLS software in the template parsing logic within the certtool utility. When it reads certain settings from a template file, it allows an attacker to cause an out-of-bounds (OOB) NULL pointer write, resulting in memory corruption and a denial-of-service (DoS) that could potentially crash the system.

A flaw was found in libsoup's SoupServer. A remote attacker could exploit a use-after-free vulnerability where the soupserverdisconnect() function frees connection objects prematurely, even if a TLS handshake is still pending. If the handshake completes after the connection object has been freed, a dangling pointer is accessed, leading to a server crash and a Denial of Service.

A flaw was found in libssh. The API function sshgethexa() is vulnerable to a denial of service when processing zero-length input. This can be exploited remotely by an attacker during GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Program Interface) authentication if the server's logging verbosity is set to SSHLOGPACKET (3) or higher. Successful exploitation could lead to a self-Denial of Service of the per-connection daemon process.

A flaw was found in libsoup. When establishing HTTPS tunnels through a configured HTTP proxy, sensitive session cookies are transmitted in cleartext within the initial HTTP CONNECT request. A network-positioned attacker or a malicious HTTP proxy can intercept these cookies, leading to potential session hijacking or user impersonation.

A flaw was found in Corosync. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit a wrong return value vulnerability in the Corosync membership commit token sanity check by sending a specially crafted User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet. This can lead to an out-of-bounds read, causing a denial of service (DoS) and potentially disclosing limited memory contents

A flaw was found in GLib. A buffer over-read can occur in giochannelreadlinebackend() in the giochannel.c file when a custom line terminator with a length greater than one is set, causing memcmp to read past the GString buffer. This vulnerability can cause a minor information disclosure of 7 bytes or a denial of service when the buffer over-read crosses a page boundary.

A flaw was found in GLib. A buffer over-read can occur in the gregexreplace function when used with the GREGEXRAW compile flag and case-change replacement escapes because the stringappend function processes matched substrings using UTF-8 functions that assume valid UTF-8 input, even when the string is treated as raw bytes. This vulnerability can cause a minor information disclosure of 1-5 bytes and a denial of service when the buffer over-read crosses a page boundary.

A flaw was found in GLib. An off-by-one error can occur in the gvstupleisnormal function in the glib/gvariant-serialiser.c file when doing an alignment padding check because the bounds check uses > instead of >=, causing an out-of-bounds read of only 1 byte. This issue can cause a minor information disclosure of 1 byte and a denial of service when the out-of-bounds read crosses a page boundary.
