RHSA-2026:12071
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-05-11 08:46 - Updated: 2026-05-13 21:45A flaw was found in the OpenSSH GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Program Interface) delta patches, as included in various Linux distributions. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending an unexpected GSSAPI message type during the key exchange process. This occurs because the `sshpkt_disconnect()` function, when called on an error, does not properly terminate the process, leading to the continued execution of the program with uninitialized connection variables. Accessing these uninitialized variables can lead to undefined behavior, potentially resulting in information disclosure or a denial of service.

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 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.
