CVSS v3.1 |
| The GSS-RPC transport layer in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.4 and later does not release the previous authentication context when a client switches from an RPCSEC_GSS or AUTH_GSSAPI flavor to a non-GSS flavor on the same TCP connection. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion in kadmind) by repeatedly establishing and abandoning GSS authentication contexts. |
| The GSS-RPC layer in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) does not enforce size limits on XDR-decoded data, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion or excessive CPU consumption in kadmind) via crafted RPC requests that trigger unbounded memory allocations during XDR decoding. |
| krb5_ktkdb_get_entry() in lib/kdb/keytab.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.2.8 and later does not free decrypted key material when a post-decryption check fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory leak in the KDC or kadmind) via requests that repeatedly trigger key decryption failures. |
| The policy RPC stubs in kadmin/server/server_stubs.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5.3 and later do not reject a NULL policy name decoded by xdr_nullstring(), which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (kadmind crash via NULL pointer dereference) by sending a policy request with an empty policy name that reaches authorization checks or logging code. |
| xdr_krb5_tl_data() in lib/kadm5/kadm_rpc_xdr.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) does not free partially decoded data on failure, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory leak in kadmind) via crafted RPC requests that trigger a decode failure. |
| The RPCSEC_GSS authentication routines in lib/rpc/authgss_prot.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.4 and later do not free partially decoded buffers on failure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory leak in kadmind) via crafted RPCSEC_GSS messages. |
| A flaw was found in SSSD's PAM responder. A local attacker can send an authentication request without first negotiating the client protocol version. The responder dereferences a NULL protocol-version pointer and crashes, disrupting SSSD-backed authentication. Repeated crafted requests can sustain the denial of service. |
| A flaw was found in freeradius. An improper length validation in the EAP-FAST module allows a stack-based buffer overflow during session ticket processing. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted handshake request, causing the server process to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). |
| A flaw was found in SSSD's conversion of X.509 certificate RSA public keys to SSH keys. Missing size checks before copying RSA components into fixed-size stack buffers can cause a stack buffer overflow. An attacker able to supply a certificate with oversized RSA components that passes the configured certificate checks can cause denial of service and corrupt SSH responder memory. |
| A flaw was found in yggdrasil-worker-package-manager. An authenticated attacker can exploit this issue to achieve arbitrary file modification or potential privilege escalation. The vulnerability exists because repository management operations fail to sanitize directory traversal sequences (such as '../') within repository names. By supplying a crafted repository name, an attacker can manipulate the root-level worker process into creating or deleting files outside the intended directory, compromising host system integrity. |
| A link-following flaw was found in the authorized_key module of the ansible.posix collection, residual to the fix for CVE-2026-11837. That fix guards only the final path component (os.chown with follow_symlinks=False and O_NOFOLLOW in _safe_open_write()). When an unprivileged local user replaces their ~/.ssh directory with a symlink to a directory they do not own, and an operator subsequently runs the authorized_key task as root (a common provisioning pattern), the module resolves its path operations through the symlink: atomic_move() writes the temporary file in the symlink target and renames it to <target>/authorized_keys, creating or overwriting a file in the attacker-chosen directory, and os.chmod(sshdir, 0o700) follows the symlink and changes the target directory's permissions. The written file is chowned to the unprivileged user, so this is not a privilege escalation, but it allows an attacker to create or overwrite files (for example in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/, which APT reads regardless of file ownership) to cause integrity and availability impacts. |
| A flaw was found in the interaction between systemd-gpt-auto-generator and
confidential computing guest VM images in OpenShift Sandboxed Containers
(confidential peer pods). systemd-gpt-auto-generator automatically discovers
and mounts GPT partitions by type GUID at boot with no user confirmation. In
the confidential computing threat model, where the host/hypervisor is the
adversary, a malicious host can inject partitions into the guest's virtual
disk. Most critically, injecting a swap partition causes the guest kernel to
page out TEE-encrypted memory to a host-controlled block device, breaking the
confidentiality guarantee of the hardware TEE (AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX).
The PodVM images use a GPT-partitioned disk with dm-verity on the root
partition. However, the roothash= kernel parameter only disables root
auto-discovery — non-root partitions (swap, /home, /var, /srv, /var/tmp) are
still auto-discovered and mounted. The generator is shipped unmasked in the
RHEL systemd-udev subpackage, and no kernel command line parameter in the
measured UKI addon disables it. Additionally, the PodVM measurement script
captures PCRs 3, 9, 11, and 12, but not PCR 5 (GPT partition table), so
partition table modifications are not detected by remote attestation. |
| A flaw was found in GCC libstdc++. When an application extracts data into a bitset from a wide-character stream, internal stack memory allocation fails to properly account for character size and alignment. An attacker capable of supplying crafted input to an affected application could trigger a stack-based buffer overflow leading denial of service (DoS). |
| A flaw was found in BusyBox. When extracting an archive, the tar utility improperly resolves deferred hardlink targets across symbolic links pointing outside the intended extraction directory. An attacker could provide a specially crafted archive that links to sensitive files outside the extraction tree, allowing subsequent extraction operations to overwrite arbitrary files on the system. |
| A flaw was found in freeradius's Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM) module. When handling authentication requests, the server copies a client-supplied identity into an internal structure without properly checking its length against a fixed-size buffer. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this issue by sending specially crafted EAP-SIM messages, triggering a stack buffer overflow that crashes the service and results in a Denial of Service (DoS). |
| A flaw was found in SSSD's PAM responder on builds with the JSON PAM extension enabled. A local attacker can submit a crafted authentication request containing a non-string OAuth2 code value. Missing JSON type validation leads to a NULL pointer dereference, terminating the PAM responder and disrupting SSSD-backed authentication. |
| A flaw was found in cpio. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering a stack-based buffer overflow when creating archives in tar or ustar formats. When archiving files owned by users or groups with names exceeding 32 characters, cpio copies these names into fixed-size memory without verifying their length. This unbounded copy corrupts stack memory and causes the application to crash. |
| A flaw was found in glib-networking. When establishing connections using Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.3, the client-side session cache does not limit the number of session tickets retained for a single host. A malicious server can exploit this by sending excessive session ticket messages, causing the client application to continuously consume memory. This unbounded memory growth can exhaust system memory, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). |
| A flaw was found in the xfs_admin utility in xfsprogs. The tool does not properly validate user-supplied parameters, allowing operating system command injection. A local attacker can exploit this issue by providing crafted input arguments, which may result in arbitrary command execution and local privilege escalation depending on how xfs_admin is executed. |
| A flaw was found in BusyBox. An integer overflow occurs in the volume_id component when calculating buffer boundaries while probing filesystem metadata. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted filesystem image on an attached storage device. When probed by utilities such as blkid, findfs, or mount, the application crashes, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) that prevents the system from resolving or mounting storage devices. |
