Vulnerabilities

A use-after-free in OpenVPN 2.6.0 through 2.6.20 and 2.7_alpha1 through 2.7.4 allows remote authenticated peers to potentially cause a denial of service or leak memory via crafted packets during TLS session promotion or expiry

In PHP versions 8.2.* before 8.2.32, 8.3.* before 8.3.32, 8.4.* before 8.4.23, 8.5.* before 8.5.8, the AES-WRAP-PAD algorithm implementation in OpenSSL extension contains a buffer allocation flaw. The output buffer for the AES key-wrap-with-padding operation is sized from the plaintext length without accounting for RFC 5649 expansion. This may cause OpenSSL to write beyond allocated memory, corrupting heap metadata and triggering application abort.

GNU SASL before 2.2.4 lacks sanitization of a short challenge in _gsasl_ntlm_client_step in the NTLM client, which could result in memory disclosure via a crafted server.

CVE-2026-49975 is a memory-allocation flaw (CWE-789, 'Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value', with related data-amplification handling per CWE-409) in Apache HTTP Server's mod_http module; related press coverage characterizes it as an HTTP/2 'bomb'. An unauthenticated remote attacker triggers it by sending malicious HTTP requests that cause the server to allocate memory with an excessively large size, and the practical impact is denial of service — availability loss with no direct confidentiality or integrity impact (CVSS 7.5, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, availability impact high). It affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.17 through 2.4.67, and the advisory data also lists Debian Linux as affected through its shipped Apache packages (specific Debian releases are not specified). Exploitation has not been confirmed in the wild and the flaw is not in CISA's KEV catalog, but a public proof-of-concept exists (github.com/EQSTLab/CVE-2026-49975) and EPSS assigns a 31% probability of exploitation within 30 days (98th percentile), so near-term exploitation is plausible.

Do: Upgrade Apache HTTP Server to the first fixed release issued after 2.4.67 (the advisory marks everything from 2.4.17 through 2.4.67 as affected), and on Debian apply the patched apache2 package via security updates. In the interim, check whether HTTP/2 handling is enabled and consider disabling it or rate-limiting connections from untrusted sources to blunt memory-exhaustion attacks. Review the public EQSTLab PoC to validate exposure, and watch memory usage for spikes as an indicator of exploitation attempts.

NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_rewrite_module module. This vulnerability exists when a rewrite directive uses a regex pattern with distinct, overlapping Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) captures (for example, ^/((.*))$) and a replacement string that references multiple such captures (for example, $1$2) in a redirect or arguments context. An unauthenticated attacker along with conditions beyond their control can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests. This may cause a heap buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process leading to a restart. Additionally, attackers can execute code on systems with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) disabled or when the attacker can bypass ASLR. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logic The 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of the task - the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and makes no sense when you don't have an associated mm. And almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task has a mm pointer. But we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to check various other things entirely independently of the MM (typically explicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS). Including for threads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel threads). It's not what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is. The ptrace code does check that the uid/gid matches, so you do have to be uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the traditional "drop capabilities" model doesn't make any difference for this all. Make it all make a *bit* more sense by saying that if you don't have a MM pointer, we'll use a cached "last dumpability" flag if the thread ever had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never set), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability to override.

CVE-2026-31431 ('Copy Fail') is an incorrect resource transfer between spheres (CWE-669/CWE-1288) in the Linux kernel's algif_aead implementation of the AF_ALG userspace crypto interface, introduced roughly nine years ago (around 2017, per public reporting) when commit 72548b093ee3 switched AEAD operations to in-place handling even though the source and destination buffers come from different mappings. A local, unprivileged user can trigger the flaw by performing AEAD operations through the AF_ALG socket interface, causing the kernel to mishandle the copy of ciphertext and associated data. Successful exploitation provides a reliable local privilege escalation to root (C:H/I:H/A:H per the CVSS vector). Nearly every major Linux distribution and enterprise platform is exposed, including the kernel itself, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (including AUS, EUS, TUS and Update Services for SAP Solutions), OpenShift Container Platform, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE Leap, SUSE CaaS Platform, NixOS, and Linux-based products from Arista and Siemens. The flaw has public proof-of-concept code, a 99.9% EPSS score, and was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-05-01, indicating exploitation in the wild (ransomware use is unknown).

Do: Patch by installing the kernel update for CVE-2026-31431 through your distribution's security channel (Red Hat Enterprise Linux including AUS/EUS/TUS/SAP channels, OpenShift, Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE Leap, SUSE CaaS Platform, NixOS, and Arista/Siemens firmware/software as applicable) and reboot into the patched kernel; the data provides no fixed version numbers, so defer to vendor advisories. Because the flaw is in CISA's KEV catalog (added 2026-05-01) with a 99.9% EPSS score, prioritize internet-reachable and multi-user systems first and follow BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services. Check running kernel versions ('uname -r') and distribution advisory status to confirm you are on a fixed build.

In OCaml opam before 2.5.1, a .install field containing a destination filepath can use ../ to reach a parent directory.

LIBPNG is a reference library for use in applications that read, create, and manipulate PNG (Portable Network Graphics) raster image files. From 1.0.9 to before 1.6.57, passing a pointer obtained from png_get_PLTE, png_get_tRNS, or png_get_hIST back into the corresponding setter on the same png_struct/png_info pair causes the setter to read from freed memory and copy its contents into the replacement buffer. The setter frees the internal buffer before copying from the caller-supplied pointer, which now dangles. The freed region may contain stale data (producing silently corrupted chunk metadata) or data from subsequent heap allocations (leaking unrelated heap contents into the chunk struct). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.6.57.

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.

An incomplete fix for CVE-2024-47778 allows an out-of-bounds read in gst_wavparse_adtl_chunk() function. The patch added a size validation check lsize + 8 > size, but it does not account for the GST_ROUND_UP_2(lsize) used in the actual offset calculation. When lsize is an odd number, the parser advances more bytes than validated, causing OOB read.

AWStats 8.0 is vulnerable to Command Injection via the open function

Vulnerability in the OpenSSH GSSAPI delta included in various Linux distributions. This vulnerability affects the GSSAPI patches added by various Linux distributions and does not affect the OpenSSH upstream project itself. The usage of sshpkt_disconnect() on an error, which does not terminate the process, allows an attacker to send an unexpected GSSAPI message type during the GSSAPI key exchange to the server, which will call the underlying function and continue the execution of the program without setting the related connection variables. As the variables are not initialized to NULL the code later accesses those uninitialized variables, accessing random memory, which could lead to undefined behavior. The recommended workaround is to use ssh_packet_disconnect() instead, which does terminate the process. The impact of the vulnerability depends heavily on the compiler flag hardening configuration.

It was discovered that dpkg-deb (a component of dpkg, the Debian package management system) does not properly validate the end of the data stream when uncompressing a zstd-compressed .deb archive, which may result in denial of service (infinite loop spinning the CPU).

MUNGE is an authentication service for creating and validating user credentials. From 0.5 to 0.5.17, local attacker can exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in munged (the MUNGE authentication daemon) to leak cryptographic key material from process memory. With the leaked key material, the attacker could forge arbitrary MUNGE credentials to impersonate any user (including root) to services that rely on MUNGE for authentication. The vulnerability allows a buffer overflow by sending a crafted message with an oversized address length field, corrupting munged's internal state and enabling extraction of the MAC subkey used for credential verification. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.18.

eprosima Fast DDS is a C++ implementation of the DDS (Data Distribution Service) standard of the OMG (Object Management Group). Prior to 2.6.11, 2.14.6, 3.2.4, 3.3.1, and 3.4.1, when the security mode is enabled, modifying the DATA Submessage within an SPDP packet sent by a publisher causes an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) condition, resulting in remote termination of Fast-DDS. If the fields of PID_IDENTITY_TOKEN or PID_PERMISSION_TOKEN in the DATA Submessage — specifically by tampering with the length field in readBinaryPropertySeq— are modified, an integer overflow occurs, leading to an OOM during the resize operation. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.11, 2.14.6, 3.2.4, 3.3.1, and 3.4.1.

tcpflow is a TCP/IP packet demultiplexer. In versions up to and including 1.61, wifipcap parses 802.11 management frame elements and performs a length check on the wrong field when handling the TIM element. A crafted frame with a large TIM length can cause a 1-byte out-of-bounds write past `tim.bitmap[251]`. The overflow is small and DoS is the likely impact; code execution is potential, but still up in the air. The affected structure is stack-allocated in `handle_beacon()` and related handlers. As of time of publication, no known patches are available.

PHPUnit is a testing framework for PHP. A vulnerability has been discovered in versions prior to 12.5.8, 11.5.50, 10.5.62, 9.6.33, and 8.5.52 involving unsafe deserialization of code coverage data in PHPT test execution. The vulnerability exists in the `cleanupForCoverage()` method, which deserializes code coverage files without validation, potentially allowing remote code execution if malicious `.coverage` files are present prior to the execution of the PHPT test. The vulnerability occurs when a `.coverage` file, which should not exist before test execution, is deserialized without the `allowed_classes` parameter restriction. An attacker with local file write access can place a malicious serialized object with a `__wakeup()` method into the file system, leading to arbitrary code execution during test runs with code coverage instrumentation enabled. This vulnerability requires local file write access to the location where PHPUnit stores or expects code coverage files for PHPT tests. This can occur through CI/CD pipeline attacks, the local development environment, and/or compromised dependencies. Rather than just silently sanitizing the input via `['allowed_classes' => false]`, the maintainer has chosen to make the anomalous state explicit by treating pre-existing `.coverage` files for PHPT tests as an error condition. Starting in versions in versions 12.5.8, 11.5.50, 10.5.62, 9.6.33, when a `.coverage` file is detected for a PHPT test prior to execution, PHPUnit will emit a clear error message identifying the anomalous state. Organizations can reduce the effective risk of this vulnerability through proper CI/CD configuration, including ephemeral runners, code review enforcement, branch protection, artifact isolation, and access control.

xrdp is an open source RDP server. xrdp before v0.10.5 contains an unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability. The issue stems from improper bounds checking when processing user domain information during the connection sequence. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the target system. The vulnerability allows an attacker to overwrite the stack buffer and the return address, which could theoretically be used to redirect the execution flow. The impact of this vulnerability is lessened if a compiler flag has been used to build the xrdp executable with stack canary protection. If this is the case, a second vulnerability would need to be used to leak the stack canary value. Upgrade to version 0.10.5 to receive a patch. Additionally, do not rely on stack canary protection on production systems.

GNU Inetutils telnetd, in all versions through 2.7, contains an argument injection flaw (CWE-88) in its handling of the USER environment variable: a remote, unauthenticated attacker who supplies a crafted value of "-f root" for USER during a telnet session can bypass authentication entirely. An attacker gains command execution as root on the target host with no credentials, yielding full compromise (CVSS 3.1: 9.8). Any Linux system or distribution shipping the affected telnetd is exposed — most notably Debian through its inetutils package — and reporting indicates the flaw has existed for roughly 11 years and is currently unpatched in all versions. Exploitation is confirmed in the wild: the flaw was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-01-26, carries a 98% EPSS score (100th percentile), public PoC exploits exist, and GreyNoise has documented observed attacker activity against telnetd.

Do: Inventory Linux hosts (especially Debian) for GNU Inetutils telnetd listening on port 23 and disable the telnet service or restrict it with firewall rules, since the flaw is reported unpatched in all versions through 2.7 and no fixed version is confirmed in the available data. As a CISA KEV entry (added 2026-01-26), apply vendor mitigations per BOD 22-01 guidance or discontinue use if mitigations are unavailable. Watch telnetd logs for sessions setting USER to values like "-f root", and monitor GNU/Debian channels for a patched release to deploy as soon as it appears.

pyasn1 is a generic ASN.1 library for Python. Prior to 0.6.2, a Denial-of-Service issue has been found that leads to memory exhaustion from malformed RELATIVE-OID with excessive continuation octets. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.6.2.

CVE-2025-68615 is a buffer overflow (CWE-119) in net-snmp, a widely used SNMP application library, tool suite, and daemon. An attacker triggers it by sending a specially crafted SNMP packet to a host running the snmptrapd trap-receiving daemon, with no authentication or user interaction required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N). The documented outcome is a buffer overflow that crashes the daemon (denial of service); the critical CVSS 9.8 rating reflects potential high-impact memory corruption, though no confirmed remote code execution is described in the available data. Any deployment running net-snmp versions prior to 5.9.5 or 5.10.pre2 — including the net-snmp packages shipped in Debian Linux — is affected where snmptrapd is enabled and reachable by attacker-supplied packets. The flaw is not yet listed in CISA KEV and no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is reported in this data, but a public detection script exists and EPSS estimates a 42.8% probability of exploitation within 30 days (99th percentile).

Do: Upgrade to net-snmp 5.9.5 or 5.10.pre2, or apply the backported security update provided by your distribution (e.g., Debian security updates), since distro packages may be affected even if they carry a pre-5.9.5 version. Determine whether snmptrapd is actually running (e.g., check systemctl status snmptrapd or process list) and disable it if not needed; otherwise restrict inbound access to the trap-receiving port (default UDP 162) with firewall rules as an interim mitigation. Monitor EPSS and vendor advisories, as the ~43% probability of exploitation within 30 days could rise quickly given a public proof-of-concept detection is already available.

NULL pointer dereference in TagSection.keys() in python-apt on APT-based Linux systems allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service (process crash) via a crafted deb822 file with a malformed non-UTF-8 key.

alinto SOGo 5.12.3 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) via the "userName" parameter.

Pdfminer.six is a community maintained fork of the original PDFMiner, a tool for extracting information from PDF documents. Prior to version 20251107, pdfminer.six will execute arbitrary code from a malicious pickle file if provided with a malicious PDF file. The `CMapDB._load_data()` function in pdfminer.six uses `pickle.loads()` to deserialize pickle files. These pickle files are supposed to be part of the pdfminer.six distribution stored in the `cmap/` directory, but a malicious PDF can specify an alternative directory and filename as long as the filename ends in `.pickle.gz`. A malicious, zipped pickle file can then contain code which will automatically execute when the PDF is processed. Version 20251107 fixes the issue.

A flaw was identified in the X.Org X server’s X Keyboard (Xkb) extension where improper bounds checking in the XkbSetCompatMap() function can cause an unsigned short overflow. If an attacker sends specially crafted input data, the value calculation may overflow, leading to memory corruption or a crash.

GIMP DCM File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of DCM files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-27863.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp_bpf: Call sk_msg_free() when tcp_bpf_send_verdict() fails to allocate psock->cork. syzbot reported the splat below. [0] The repro does the following: 1. Load a sk_msg prog that calls bpf_msg_cork_bytes(msg, cork_bytes) 2. Attach the prog to a SOCKMAP 3. Add a socket to the SOCKMAP 4. Activate fault injection 5. Send data less than cork_bytes At 5., the data is carried over to the next sendmsg() as it is smaller than the cork_bytes specified by bpf_msg_cork_bytes(). Then, tcp_bpf_send_verdict() tries to allocate psock->cork to hold the data, but this fails silently due to fault injection + __GFP_NOWARN. If the allocation fails, we need to revert the sk->sk_forward_alloc change done by sk_msg_alloc(). Let's call sk_msg_free() when tcp_bpf_send_verdict fails to allocate psock->cork. The "*copied" also needs to be updated such that a proper error can be returned to the caller, sendmsg. It fails to allocate psock->cork. Nothing has been corked so far, so this patch simply sets "*copied" to 0.

CVE-2025-41244 is a local privilege escalation flaw (CWE-267, improper privilege management) in Broadcom's VMware Aria Operations and VMware Tools, arising from privileged operations performed in an unsafe manner. To exploit it, a malicious actor with non-administrative privileges must already have local access to a virtual machine that runs VMware Tools and is managed by Aria Operations with SDMP enabled, at which point they can escalate to root on that same VM. Successful exploitation yields full root-level control (high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact per the 7.8 CVSS score) on affected guest VMs. Organizations running VMware Aria Operations-managed estates with VMware Tools or Open VM Tools on guests, including VMware Cloud Foundation, Cloud Foundation Operations, Telco Cloud, and Debian-packaged Tools deployments, are affected. The flaw is being actively exploited in the wild: CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-10-30, and news reports attribute exploitation to a China-linked actor, with EPSS estimating an 8.4% chance of exploitation within 30 days (95th percentile).

Do: Apply the Broadcom patches for CVE-2025-41244 per the vendor advisory to Aria Operations and update VMware Tools/Open VM Tools on all managed guests, including bundled components in VMware Cloud Foundation, Cloud Foundation Operations, and Telco Cloud products; follow CISA KEV/BOD 22-01 requirements (patch per vendor instructions or discontinue use for cloud services). As interim mitigation, restrict non-administrative local access on Aria Operations-managed VMs and review whether SDMP is enabled, prioritizing internet-adjacent and high-value guests; Debian users should track the Debian advisory for updated open-vm-tools packages.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kernfs: Fix UAF in polling when open file is released A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability was identified in the PSI (Pressure Stall Information) monitoring mechanism: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in psi_trigger_poll+0x3c/0x140 Read of size 8 at addr ffff3de3d50bd308 by task systemd/1 psi_trigger_poll+0x3c/0x140 cgroup_pressure_poll+0x70/0xa0 cgroup_file_poll+0x8c/0x100 kernfs_fop_poll+0x11c/0x1c0 ep_item_poll.isra.0+0x188/0x2c0 Allocated by task 1: cgroup_file_open+0x88/0x388 kernfs_fop_open+0x73c/0xaf0 do_dentry_open+0x5fc/0x1200 vfs_open+0xa0/0x3f0 do_open+0x7e8/0xd08 path_openat+0x2fc/0x6b0 do_filp_open+0x174/0x368 Freed by task 8462: cgroup_file_release+0x130/0x1f8 kernfs_drain_open_files+0x17c/0x440 kernfs_drain+0x2dc/0x360 kernfs_show+0x1b8/0x288 cgroup_file_show+0x150/0x268 cgroup_pressure_write+0x1dc/0x340 cgroup_file_write+0x274/0x548 Reproduction Steps: 1. Open test/cpu.pressure and establish epoll monitoring 2. Disable monitoring: echo 0 > test/cgroup.pressure 3. Re-enable monitoring: echo 1 > test/cgroup.pressure The race condition occurs because: 1. When cgroup.pressure is disabled (echo 0 > cgroup.pressure), it: - Releases PSI triggers via cgroup_file_release() - Frees of->priv through kernfs_drain_open_files() 2. While epoll still holds reference to the file and continues polling 3. Re-enabling (echo 1 > cgroup.pressure) accesses freed of->priv epolling disable/enable cgroup.pressure fd=open(cpu.pressure) while(1) ... epoll_wait kernfs_fop_poll kernfs_get_active = true echo 0 > cgroup.pressure ... cgroup_file_show kernfs_show // inactive kn kernfs_drain_open_files cft->release(of); kfree(ctx); ... kernfs_get_active = false echo 1 > cgroup.pressure kernfs_show kernfs_activate_one(kn); kernfs_fop_poll kernfs_get_active = true cgroup_file_poll psi_trigger_poll // UAF ... end: close(fd) To address this issue, introduce kernfs_get_active_of() for kernfs open files to obtain active references. This function will fail if the open file has been released. Replace kernfs_get_active() with kernfs_get_active_of() to prevent further operations on released file descriptors.
