A flaw was found in libsolv. This heap buffer overflow occurs during the decompression of attacker-controlled compressed data within .solv files due to insufficient input validation. An attacker can provide a specially crafted .solv file, which, when processed by a vulnerable application, can lead to out-of-bounds memory access. This could result in information disclosure, alteration of program execution, or a denial of service.

A flaw was found in gnutls. This vulnerability occurs because gnutls performs case-sensitive comparisons of nameConstraints labels, specifically for dNSName (DNS) or rfc822Name (email) constraints within excludedSubtrees or permittedSubtrees. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a leaf certificate with casing differences in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN), leading to a policy bypass where a certificate that should be rejected is instead accepted. This could result in unauthorized access or information disclosure.

A flaw was found in GLib. The D-Bus client-side implementation of the DBUSCOOKIESHA1 SASL authentication mechanism does not validate the cookiecontext parameter received from the server. A malicious D-Bus server can supply a cookiecontext containing path traversal sequences, causing the client to read an arbitrary file and exfiltrate sensitive data by verifying guessed file contents against a generated hash.

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 flaw was found in Netty, where whitespace before the colon in HTTP headers is mishandled. This flaw allows an attacker to cause HTTP request smuggling.

It was reported that when executing a program via "pkexec --user nonpriv program", the nonpriv session can escape to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the terminal's input buffer, allowing privilege escalation.

A flaw was found in gnutls. A remote attacker could exploit an issue in the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) packet reordering logic. The comparator function, responsible for ordering DTLS packets by sequence numbers, did not correctly handle packets with duplicate sequence numbers. This could lead to unstable packet ordering or undefined behavior, resulting in a denial of service.

A flaw was found in Samba’s certificate auto-enrollment Group Policy handling. When certificate auto-enrollment is enabled, Samba may retrieve a CA certificate over an unencrypted HTTP connection and install it into the local trust store without proper verification. An attacker with the ability to intercept or redirect network traffic could exploit this behavior to supply a malicious certificate authority certificate, potentially allowing interception or spoofing of trusted communications.

A flaw was found in Samba’s handling of NTFS-style reparse points on shares configured with read only = yes. Due to missing SMB-layer access checks, authenticated users with underlying filesystem write permissions may create or delete reparse point metadata through SMB operations even on read-only exports. This could allow modification of SMB-visible file behavior, including converting files into symbolic links or other reparse point types.

A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. The dereference control plugin does not check for allocation failure before using a BER structure, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the LDAP server when the system is under memory pressure.

389-ds-base security assessment finding 021 (2026-04-22).

Pre-auth LDAP filter injection in CleanAllRUV status-check extop (OID 2.16.840.1.113730.3.6.8). Handler multisupplierextopcleanruvcheckstatus() in replextop.c passes attacker-supplied filter unsanitized to internal cn=config search with replication plugin identity. No auth checks (unlike other replication extops).

With default nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access: on, anonymous bind suffices. Boolean oracle extracts 31 cn=config attributes (replication bind DN, password storage scheme, paths, ACI keywords). Password hashes not extractable via substring.

PoC confirmed: RHEL 7 (389-ds-base-1.3.11.1-5.el79), Fedora 42 (389-ds-base-3.1.4-6.fc42).

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (7.5). Red Hat impact: Moderate. CWE-90, CWE-306, CWE-20.

A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base). The getruvelementfromberval() function in ldap/servers/plugins/replication/repl5ruv.c copies digit characters from a network-supplied RUV berval into a fixed 16-byte stack buffer (ridbuff[RIDSTRSIZE]) without bounds checking the loop counter. A remote unauthenticated attacker can crash the ns-slapd process by sending a crafted StartNSDS50ReplicationRequest LDAP extended operation (OID 2.16.840.1.113730.3.5.12) containing more than 16 consecutive digit characters in the replica ID field. The overflow occurs during payload decoding in decodestartreplextop(), before the replicaisupdatedn() authorization check runs, making it exploitable without credentials on default configurations where anonymous access is enabled. On production builds with stack protectors, the impact is limited to denial of service (process abort). The vulnerable code path is: decodestartreplextop() -> decoderuv() -> ruvinitfrombervals() -> getruvelementfromberval().

A vulnerability has been identified in the libarchive library, specifically within the archivereadformatrarseekdata() function. This flaw involves an integer overflow that can ultimately lead to a double-free condition. Exploiting a double-free vulnerability can result in memory corruption, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

A flaw was found in GLib. An out-of-bounds read of only 2 bytes can occur in the gdatetimegetymd function in the glib/gdatetime.c file when an invalid GDateTime object produced by the gdatetimeaddfull function is processed. This flaw can corrupt the date output and potentially cause logic errors that may lead to a denial of service.

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.

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. The trust-fetch-domains command, used to refresh Active Directory trust topology, is gated only by the read-level ACI on the trust object (System: Read Trust Information, granted to any authenticated IPA user by default) rather than a trust-administration-level permission. Any authenticated, non-privileged IPA user can therefore invoke ipa trust-fetch-domains, which calls a root-owned oddjobd/D-Bus helper (install/oddjob/com.redhat.idm.trust-fetch-domains.in). When the caller supplies --admin/--password, the helper calls kinitpassword() against a caller-chosen --server using attacker-supplied credentials, with no cross-check that they belong to the real trusted AD forest, then accepts whatever forest-trust topology (domain names, NetBIOS names, SIDs) that attacker-controlled server returns via ipaserver/dcerpc.py's fetchdomains()/discovertrustinstance(). This fabricated data is written directly into the IPA LDAP directory as authoritative trust/ID-range topology by trust.addnewdomainsfromtrust(). The authorization gap itself (an unprivileged, non-admin user's request reaching the root-owned helper's execution with no ACI rejection) was reproduced dynamically in an isolated sandbox against ipa-server-4.13.5, confirmed against a negative control (an unrelated admin-only operation was correctly rejected in the same session). The exploiting principal holds zero delegated privilege — this is not a case of a narrow administrative delegation being used beyond its intended scope.

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 FreeIPA. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the /ipa/i18nmessages endpoint by sending an arbitrarily large request body. This can cause the service to consume excessive memory, leading to memory exhaustion, degraded responsiveness, and a denial of service (DoS) condition.

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending oversized form POST requests to the /ipa/migration/migration.py endpoint. This can force the migration handler to read attacker-controlled request bodies fully into memory, leading to increased memory usage, slower request handling, and potential service disruption or denial of service.

A configuration-dependent issue in rsyslog's optional imptcp input module can allow an unauthenticated remote peer to crash rsyslogd. The issue is not active in a default installation. Exploitation requires all of the following:

imptcp is explicitly loaded. An imptcp listener uses the non-default framing.delimiter.regex mode. An attacker can establish a TCP connection to that listener.

A crafted input sequence during oversize-frame recovery can cause an invalid internal message length and terminate rsyslogd. No confidentiality or integrity impact, privilege escalation, or code execution has been identified. imtcp and the default imptcp framing modes are not affected.

A flaw was found in GIMP's PNM file format parser. When parsing a specially crafted PNM file, the pnmscannergettoken() function writes a null terminator one byte past the end of a stack-allocated buffer due to an off-by-one error in the loop boundary check. This could lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

A flaw was found in the file-fits plugin in GIMP, affecting all versions. When processing a FITS image file, the plugin calculates memory allocation sizes using signed 32-bit integers for width and height. If a crafted file sets both values to large values, their product exceeds 2^31 and overflows, resulting in an undersized heap-based buffer allocation. This integer overflow issue results in a heap-based buffer overflow when cfitsio subsequently writes a full row of pixels in the buffer, causing memory corruption, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service.

A flaw was found in libsoup, a library for handling HTTP requests. This vulnerability, known as a Use-After-Free, occurs in the HTTP/2 server implementation. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted HTTP/2 requests that cause authentication failures. This can lead to the application attempting to access memory that has already been freed, potentially causing application instability or crashes, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

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.

libuser before 0.56.13-8 and 0.60 before 0.60-7, as used in the userhelper program in the usermode package, directly modifies /etc/passwd, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (inconsistent file state) by causing an error during the modification. NOTE: this issue can be combined with CVE-2015-3245 to gain privileges.

A flaw was found in the libtiff library. A remote attacker could exploit a signed integer overflow vulnerability in the putcontig8bitYCbCr44tile function by providing a specially crafted TIFF file. This flaw can lead to an out-of-bounds heap write due to incorrect memory pointer calculations, potentially causing a denial of service (application crash) or arbitrary code execution.

A flaw was found in gimp. This buffer overflow vulnerability in the GIF image loading component's ReadJeffsImage function allows an attacker to write beyond an allocated buffer by processing a specially crafted GIF file. This can lead to a denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution.
