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 the backchannel logout endpoint of the keycloak-services component, which is part of the Red Hat Build of Keycloak. This component handles authentication and session management for applications. The issue occurs when an OIDC identity provider is configured to skip signature validation. In this specific setup, the system incorrectly accepts logout requests that have no cryptographic signature. An attacker who knows certain technical details about a user's session can use this flaw to force that user to be logged out, potentially disrupting their work.
A flaw was found in the hostname matching logic within the ClientUpdaterSourceHostsCondition of Keycloak. When a wildcard domain (e.g., .example.com) is configured as a trusted source host in a client policy, the matching mechanism performs a simple suffix check without ensuring a proper subdomain boundary (a preceding dot). An unauthenticated attacker whose connecting IP address reverse-resolves to a crafted hostname ending in the trusted suffix (e.g., attackerexample.com) can satisfy the condition. This allows the attacker to bypass source-host restrictions intended to limit client registration or update operations to trusted domains. Successful exploitation causes policy executors to run as if the request originated from a legitimate trusted source, which can weaken or bypass security constraints applied to client management.
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 KubeVirt's downward metrics virtio-serial server in virt-handler. The server reads guest requests using textproto.Reader.ReadLine() in pkg/downwardmetrics/virtio-serial/server.go, which buffers input indefinitely until a newline character is received, with no length limit or read deadline. The server is started from dmetrics-manager.go and wired into the virt-handler process at cmd/virt-handler/virt-handler.go — it runs inside virt-handler's address space, not in the per-VM virt-launcher pod. A VM guest writing a continuous byte stream without newlines to the downward-metrics virtio-serial channel causes unbounded heap allocation in virt-handler until it is OOM-killed. Affected image: virt-handler-rhel9. Upstream fix should wrap the reader in io.LimitedReader with a small cap and add a per-read deadline.
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 Keycloak. An authenticated attacker can perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) by manipulating the clientsessionhost parameter during refresh token requests. This occurs when a Keycloak client is configured to use the backchannel.logout.url with the application.session.host placeholder. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to make HTTP requests from the Keycloak server’s network context, potentially probing internal networks or internal APIs, leading to information disclosure.
A flaw was found in Keycloak. A remote attacker can exploit differential error messages during the identity-first login flow when Organizations are enabled. This vulnerability allows an attacker to determine the existence of users, leading to information disclosure through user enumeration.
A flaw was found in Keycloak. An authenticated user with the view-users role could exploit a vulnerability in the UserResource component. By accessing a specific administrative endpoint, this user could improperly retrieve user attributes that were configured to be hidden. This unauthorized information disclosure could expose sensitive user data.
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 Keycloak. An authorization bypass vulnerability in the Keycloak Admin API allows any authenticated user, even those without administrative privileges, to enumerate the organization memberships of other users. This information disclosure occurs if the attacker knows the victim's unique identifier (UUID) and the Organizations feature is enabled.
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 flaw was found in Keycloak’s WebAuthn registration component. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass the configured attestation policy and register untrusted or forged authenticators via submission of an attestation object with fmt: "none", even when the realm is configured to require direct attestation. This can lead to weakened authentication integrity and unauthorized authenticator registration.
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 Ansible. Three API endpoints are accessible and return verbose, unauthenticated responses. This flaw allows a malicious user to access data that may contain important information.
A flaw was found in Ansible. Sensitive cookies without security flags over non-encrypted channels can lead to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) and Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks allowing attackers to read transmitted data.
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 vulnerability has been identified in Keycloak that could lead to unauthorized information disclosure. While it requires an already authenticated user, the /admin/serverinfo endpoint can inadvertently provide sensitive environment information.
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.
