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.

A flaw was found in the Apache Commons BeanUtils, where the class property in PropertyUtilsBean is not suppressed by default. This flaw allows an attacker to access the classloader.

A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind that could allow an unauthenticated user to perform code execution by sending the maliciously crafted input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper. This issue extends the previous flaws CVE-2017-7525 and CVE-2017-17485 by blacklisting more classes that could be used maliciously.

A flaw was found in Node.js versions before 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 and 11.3.0. A Denial of Service with large HTTP headers. By using a combination of many requests with maximum sized headers (almost 80 KB per connection), and carefully timed completion of the headers, it is possible to cause the HTTP server to abort from heap allocation failure. Attack potential is mitigated by the use of a load balancer or other proxy layer.

inftrees.c in zlib 1.2.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging improper pointer arithmetic

A malicious web application running on Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M9, 8.5.0 to 8.5.4, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.36, 7.0.0 to 7.0.70 and 6.0.0 to 6.0.45 was able to bypass a configured SecurityManager via manipulation of the configuration parameters for the JSP Servlet.

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 set of pre-production kernel packages of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for IBM Power architecture can be booted by the grub in Secure Boot mode even though it shouldn't. These kernel builds don't have the secure boot lockdown patches applied to it and can bypass the secure boot validations, allowing the attacker to load another non-trusted code.

apache. Multiple issues were addressed by updating apache to version 2.4.53.

A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.9.2, 2.8.11.4, 2.7.9.6, and 2.6.7.3. This occurs when Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has the logback jar in the classpath.

Catastrophic backtracking vulnerability was found in Python. Exploitation of a regular expression in pop3lib's apop() method although limited by 2048 chars, can lead to denial of service.

Upstream issue:

An issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind prior to 2.7.9.4, 2.8.11.2, and 2.9.6. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property), the service has the Jodd-db jar (for database access for the Jodd framework) in the classpath, and an attacker can provide an LDAP service to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload.

A vulnerability was found in XStream. Parsing a maliciously crafted file could cause the application to crash.

The processed stream at unmarshalling type contains type information to recreate the formerly written objects. XStream creates therefore new instances based on these type information. The crash occurrs if this information advices XStream to create an instance of the primitive type 'void'. This situation can only happen if an attacker was able to manipulate the incoming data, since such an instance does not exist.

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.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information due to the use of a hard-coded or predictable cryptographic key.

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information and forge authentication tags due to the use of hard-coded cryptographic keys and initialization vectors.

FTM 4.x ALL could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to an XML external entity injection flaw.

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().

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to improper validation of a specified quantity.
