In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
A vulnerability was found in GNU Nano that allows a possible privilege escalation through an insecure temporary file. If Nano is killed while editing, a file it saves to an emergency file with the permissions of the running user provides a window of opportunity for attackers to escalate privileges through a malicious symlink.
A heap-buffer-overread vulnerability exists in GnuTLS (confirmed in version 3.8.9) due to unsafe handling of the Certificate Transparency (CT) Signed Certificate Timestamp (SCT) extension during X.509 certificate parsing. The vulnerability can be triggered by a malicious peer presenting a crafted certificate containing a malformed SCT extension (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.4.2). This overread may lead to disclosure of heap memory contents to attackers if the SCT logid is logged, exported, or otherwise exposed by the application consuming the GnuTLS client library.
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 race condidition in systemd-coredump allows a local attacker to crash a SUID program and gain read access to the resulting core dump
An array indexing vulnerability was found in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. A missing macro could lead to a miscalculation of the h->nets array offset, providing attackers with the primitive to arbitrarily increment/decrement a memory buffer out-of-bound. This issue may allow a local user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
In the Linux kernel through 6.3.1, a use-after-free in Netfilter nftables when processing batch requests can be abused to perform arbitrary read and write operations on kernel memory. Unprivileged local users can obtain root privileges. This occurs because anonymous sets are mishandled.
An out-of-bounds read issue was found in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker could send a crafted TCP packet triggering a heap-based buffer overflow that results in kmalloc data to be printed (and potentially leaked) to the kernel ring buffer (dmesg).

A flaw has been identified in glibc. In an extremely rare situation, the getaddrinfo function may access memory that has been freed, resulting in an application crash. This issue is only exploitable when a NSS module implements only the nssgethostbyname2r and nssgetcanonnamer hooks without implementing the nssgethostbyname3r hook. The resolved name should return a large number of IPv6 and IPv4, and the call to the getaddrinfo function should have the AFINET6 address family with AICANONNAME, AIALL and AIV4MAPPED as flags.
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.
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 flaw was found in libarchive. This heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the RAR archive processing logic due to improper validation of the LZSS sliding window size after transitions between compression methods. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted RAR archive, leading to the disclosure of sensitive heap memory information without requiring authentication or user interaction.
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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 flaw was found in glib. This vulnerability allows a heap buffer overflow and denial-of-service (DoS) via an integer overflow in GLib's GIO (GLib Input/Output) escapebytestring() function when processing malicious file or remote filesystem attribute values.
A flaw was found in Samba’s vfsworm module. The module is intended to provide write-once, read-many (WORM) protections by preventing modification of files after a configurable grace period. Due to insufficient validation during rename operations, an authenticated user with write access to a share could overwrite a protected file by renaming a newly created file over the existing WORM-protected file.
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 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 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. 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 p11-kit. The RPC message attribute parsing functions p11rpcmessagegetattribute() and p11rpcmessagegetattributearrayvalue() form a mutually-recursive call chain with no recursion depth limit when processing nested CKAWRAPTEMPLATE, CKAUNWRAPTEMPLATE, and CKADERIVETEMPLATE attributes. An unauthenticated attacker with local access to the p11-kit RPC Unix domain socket can send a specially crafted request with deeply nested template attributes, causing stack exhaustion and crashing the p11-kit server process and its dependent services.
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 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.
