A flaw was found in GNU Coreutils. The sort utility's begfield() function is vulnerable to a heap buffer under-read. The program may access memory outside the allocated buffer if a user runs a crafted command using the traditional key format. A malicious input could lead to a crash or leak sensitive data.

A vulnerability in Python’s os.path.expandvars() function that can cause performance degradation. When processing specially crafted, user-controlled input with nested environment variable patterns, the function exhibits quadratic time complexity, potentially leading to excessive CPU usage and denial of service (DoS) conditions. No code execution or data exposure occurs, so the impact is limited to performance slowdown.

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 use-after-free vulnerability was found in libxslt while parsing xsl nodes that may lead to the dereference of expired pointers and application crash.

A flaw was found in libtasn1. A remote attacker could exploit a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the `asn1_expend_octet_string` function. This occurs due to a failure in validating the size of input data. Successful exploitation can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, making the affected system or application unavailable.

A flaw was found in the plistlib module in the Python standard library. The amount of data to read from a Plist file is specified in the file itself. This issue allows a specially crafted Plist file to cause an application to allocate a large amount of memory, potentially resulting in allocations errors, swapping, out-of-memory conditions or even system freezes.

Missing newline filtering has been discovered in Python. User-controlled header names and values containing newlines can allow injecting HTTP headers.

A flaw was found in Python. This vulnerability allows for the injection of extra information into HTTP communication. Specifically, the system does not properly prevent special characters (carriage return and line feed) from being included in HTTP client proxy tunnel headers or host fields.

A flaw was found in curl. When an application uses libcurl to make multiple Negotiate-authenticated HTTP or HTTPS requests to the same server with different credentials, libcurl may incorrectly reuse an existing connection. This logical error can cause a subsequent request to be sent using the authentication of a previous user, leading to an authentication bypass.

A flaw was found in p11-kit. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by calling the C_DeriveKey function on a remote token with specific IBM kyber or IBM btc derive mechanism parameters set to NULL. This could lead to the RPC-client attempting to return an uninitialized value, potentially resulting in a NULL dereference or undefined behavior. This issue may cause an application level denial of service or other unpredictable system states.

A flaw was found in CPython. This vulnerability allows a local user with low privileges to bypass security auditing mechanisms. The issue occurs because the SourcelessFileLoader component, responsible for handling older Python compiled files (.pyc), does not properly trigger system audit events. This oversight could enable malicious activities to go undetected, compromising the integrity of the system.

A control character validation flaw has been discovered in the Python http.cookie module. The Morsel.update(), |= operator, and unpickling paths were not patched to resolve CVE-2026-0672, allowing control characters to bypass input validation. Additionally, BaseCookie.js_output() lacked the output validation applied to BaseCookie.output().

A flaw was found in curl. When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer that redirects to a second URL, curl could unintentionally leak the token. This occurs if the second hostname has entries in the `.netrc` file, allowing the bearer token intended for the first host to be sent to the redirected host. This information disclosure could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access.

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 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 glibc, the GNU C Library. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted inputs using the IBM1390 or IBM1399 character sets to the `iconv()` function. This could lead to an assertion failure, causing the application to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A stack overflow flaw has been discovered in the python pyexpat module. When an Expat parser with a registered ElementDeclHandler parses an inline document type definition containing a deeply nested content model a C stack overflow occurs. This will result in a program crash.

A flaw was found in glibc (the GNU C Library). When an application uses the `gethostbyaddr` or `gethostbyaddr_r` functions with a `nsswitch.conf` configuration that specifies glibc's DNS backend, a remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS (Domain Name System) response. This crafted response can cause the application to incorrectly interpret a non-answer section of the DNS response as a valid answer, leading to potential misbehavior or incorrect information processing.

A flaw was found in the GNU C library (glibc). When applications use the `gethostbyaddr` or `gethostbyaddr_r` functions with a `nsswitch.conf` configuration that specifies glibc's DNS backend, the library may return an invalid DNS hostname. This violates the DNS specification and could lead to applications receiving incorrect hostname information, potentially impacting network operations or security decisions.

A flaw was found in libcap. A local unprivileged user can exploit a Time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the `cap_set_file()` function. This allows an attacker with write access to a parent directory to redirect file capability updates to an attacker-controlled file. By doing so, capabilities can be injected into or stripped from unintended executables, leading to privilege escalation.

A flaw was found in libgnutls. A remote attacker, by sending an extremely short premaster secret during an RSA key exchange to a server using an RSA key backed by a PKCS#11 token, could trigger a short heap overread. This memory corruption vulnerability could lead to information disclosure.

A flaw was found in gnutls. The PKCS#7 padding check, performed during decryption, was not constant-time. This timing side-channel could allow a remote attacker to potentially leak sensitive information about the padding bytes through observable timing differences. This vulnerability is a form of information disclosure.

A flaw was found in glibc, the GNU C Library. Specifically, deprecated functions responsible for printing TSIG (Transaction Signature) records fail to properly manage memory buffers. This oversight can lead to an out-of-bounds write when processing specially crafted TSIG records. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.

A flaw was found in glibc (GNU C Library). This vulnerability occurs when an application uses the `scanf` family of functions with a `%mc` format specifier, which is used for dynamically allocating memory for character input, and provides an explicit width greater than 1024. This specific combination can lead to a one-byte heap buffer overflow, potentially allowing an attacker to corrupt memory.

A flaw was found in glibc (GNU C Library). When the `ungetwc` function is called on a file stream using wide characters with specific overlapping single-byte and multi-byte encodings, it may attempt to read data outside of its allocated buffer. This can lead to the unintentional disclosure of sensitive information from memory or cause the program to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

A flaw was found in glibc (GNU C Library). The deprecated functions ns_printrrf, ns_printrr, and fp_nquery do not properly validate the length of RDATA (Resource Record Data) in a DNS (Domain Name System) response when processing specific record types like LOC, CERT, TKEY, or TSIG. A remote attacker could craft a malicious DNS response, leading to a target application crashing or reading uninitialized memory. These functions are intended for application debugging and are not part of the standard DNS resolver path.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL CREATE TYPE handling for multirange types. The database failed to properly verify schema CREATE privileges during multirange type creation. An authenticated database user could exploit this issue to hijack queries that rely on search_path resolution for user-defined or extension-defined types, potentially causing execution of arbitrary SQL functions within the affected database context.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. An integer overflow in multiple server features allows an unprivileged database user to cause an undersized memory allocation that leads to an out-of-bounds write. This issue allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database or, in applications that pass gigabyte-scale user inputs to the relevant database functions, to cause a segmentation fault, resulting in a denial of service.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. This vulnerability, an externally-controlled format string in the `timeofday()` function, allows a remote attacker to craft specific timezone zones. Successful exploitation can lead to the retrieval of sensitive portions of server memory, potentially disclosing confidential information.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. This vulnerability, related to symlink following in pg_basebackup (plain format) and pg_rewind, allows an origin superuser to overwrite local files. By exploiting this, an attacker could potentially hijack the operating system account. This attack has practical implications if specific actions are taken, such as moving files to a different virtual machine (VM) or snapshotting the VM, between the execution of these commands and the server's restart.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL libpq. A server superuser can exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in the PQfn function, which is used by client functions such as lo_export(), lo_read(), lo_lseek64(), and lo_tell64(). This allows the superuser to send an arbitrarily large response, overwriting the client's stack memory, specifically in tools like psql and pg_dump. This could lead to arbitrary code execution on the client system.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. This vulnerability, a covert timing channel, exists in the comparison of MD5-hashed passwords during authentication. A remote attacker could exploit this to recover user credentials, gaining unauthorized access to the database. This issue specifically impacts databases that retain MD5-hashed passwords from upgrades of PostgreSQL 13 or earlier.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. Uncontrolled recursion during SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and GSS (Generic Security Service) negotiation allows an attacker to achieve a sustained denial of service. This can be exploited by an attacker with access to a PostgreSQL AF_UNIX socket. If SSL and GSS are both disabled, the same denial of service can be achieved via a PostgreSQL TCP socket.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. A stack buffer overflow in the 'refint' module allows an unprivileged database user to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database. Additionally, a separate vulnerability exists where, if an application uses a user-controlled column as a 'refint' cascade primary key and allows user-controlled updates, a SQL injection can enable an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands as the database user performing the update.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. A signed integer overflow vulnerability exists when sizing the destination buffer for Unicode output. This can lead to a heap buffer overflow, which may result in a crash or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires an application to directly call specific functions with a large amount of attacker-controlled input.

A flaw was found in curl. When a new data transfer attempts to upgrade its connection using STARTTLS, it may incorrectly reuse an existing live connection. This reuse can occur even if the Transport Layer Security (TLS) configuration of the new transfer does not match the existing connection, potentially leading to an insecure connection being established.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. When processing attacker-supplied Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) data using password-based decryption, an attacker can choose a stream-mode Key Encryption Key (KEK) cipher. This can trigger a heap out-of-bounds read, potentially causing an application crash and leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). This vulnerability does not require password knowledge and can be exploited before authentication.

A flaw was found in the ngx_http_rewrite_module module of NGINX. When a rewrite directive uses a regex pattern with distinct, overlapping Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) captures and a replacement string that references multiple such captures in a redirect or arguments context, an unauthenticated attacker can send crafted HTTP requests and cause a heap-based buffer overflow in the worker process, potentially allowing code execution or a denial of service by forcing the process to restart.

A flaw was found in curl. When a libcurl-based application uses SCP:// or SFTP:// for transfers and employs the CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION callback, it may silently accept an untrusted server. This occurs if the server's host key type differs from the one stored in the known_hosts file. The callback mechanism fails to enforce the host key restriction, enabling a connection to an untrusted server and risking a man-in-the-middle attack.

A flaw was found in the `tarfile.extractall()` function within Python. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted archive. This archive could bypass security filters by using a hardlink that references a symlink, allowing the symlink to be recreated outside the intended destination directory. This could lead to out-of-destination file reads or writes, potentially resulting in information disclosure or arbitrary file modification.

A flaw was found in p11-kit. The RPC message attribute parsing functions p11_rpc_message_get_attribute() and p11_rpc_message_get_attribute_array_value() form a mutually-recursive call chain with no recursion depth limit when processing nested CKA_WRAP_TEMPLATE, CKA_UNWRAP_TEMPLATE, and CKA_DERIVE_TEMPLATE attributes. An unauthenticated attacker with local access to the p11-kit RPC Unix domain socket can send a specially crafted request with deeply nested template attributes, causing stack exhaustion and crashing the p11-kit server process and its dependent services.

A double free issue has been identified in libarchive's RAR5 reader. During parsing of a specially crafted RAR5 archive, the filtered_buf pointer may remain stale after being freed during unpacking state reinitialization. Subsequent processing of another archive entry can trigger a second free of the same memory region, resulting in a double-free condition. Successful exploitation may cause applications using the vulnerable libarchive API to terminate unexpectedly, leading to a denial of service.

A flaw was found in Python. Its incremental HTML parser can be exploited by a remote attacker. By sending specially crafted, uncontrolled data with repeated, incomplete markup declarations, the attacker can cause the system to consume excessive central processing unit (CPU) resources. This leads to a denial of service, making the affected system unresponsive.

A denial-of-service and resource exhaustion vulnerability exists within the `GDBus` component of GLib. The `gdbusauth` authentication mechanism fails to enforce proper length limitations on data lines read from a client. An unauthenticated local or remote attacker can exploit this lack of input validation by sending excessively long streams of data, causing the application to consume massive amounts of system memory and CPU, potentially leading to a crash or system hang.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) EnvelopedData message. During the processing of a KeyTransportRecipientInfo with RSA-OAEP encryption, the system attempts to access an optional parameter field without first verifying its presence. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference, which can cause applications processing the attacker-controlled CMS data to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A flaw was found in systemd, a system and service manager. An unprivileged user can exploit this vulnerability by making an Inter-Process Communication (IPC) API call with spurious data. In older versions (v249 and earlier), this can lead to stack overwriting with attacker-controlled content, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation. In newer versions (v250 and later), the flaw causes systemd to assert and freeze, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A flaw was found in openssl. Applications that use RSASVE key encapsulation, a method for securely exchanging encryption keys, may inadvertently expose sensitive data. This vulnerability arises when an application processes a malicious, invalid RSA public key provided by an attacker without proper validation. Consequently, the application might send the contents of an uninitialized memory buffer, which could contain confidential information, to the attacker.

A flaw in GnuTLS DTLS handshake parsing allows malformed fragments with zero length and non-zero offset, leading to an integer underflow during reassembly and resulting in an out-of-bounds read. This issue is remotely exploitable and may cause information disclosure or denial of service.

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the DTLS handshake fragment reassembly logic of GnuTLS. The issue arises in merge_handshake_packet() where incoming handshake fragments are matched and merged based solely on handshake type, without validating that the message_length field remains consistent across all fragments of the same logical message. An attacker can exploit this by sending crafted DTLS fragments with conflicting message_length values, causing the implementation to allocate a buffer based on a smaller initial fragment and subsequently write beyond its bounds using larger, inconsistent fragments. Because the merge operation does not enforce proper bounds checking against the allocated buffer size, this results in an out-of-bounds write on the heap. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication via the DTLS handshake path and can lead to application crashes or potential memory corruption.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. An integer truncation vulnerability in the ASN.1 decoder can occur when processing a crafted DER-encoded ASN.1 structure with a primitive element exceeding 2 gigabytes. A remote attacker could exploit this to cause a heap buffer over-read. This may lead to an application crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially disclose sensitive information by loading memory contents beyond the input buffer. This issue primarily affects 64-bit Unix and Unix-like platforms.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to forge PKCS#12 (Public-Key Cryptography Standards #12) files that use Password-Based Message Authentication Code 1 (PBMAC1) with short HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) keys. This can lead to a service accepting attacker-controlled certificates and private keys with a 1 in 256 probability, potentially enabling impersonation.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL's Cryptographic Message Services (CMS) AuthEnvelopedData processing. An on-path attacker can exploit insufficient input validation on cipher and tag length fields by sending specially crafted CMS messages. This can lead to the forging of messages or bypassing integrity validation. Consequently, an attacker may achieve key-equivalent functionality for a given CMS recipient.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL's QUIC PATH_CHALLENGE handler. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by flooding a QUIC client or server with specially crafted PATH_CHALLENGE frames. This leads to unbounded memory allocation within the local QUIC stack, as the system continuously allocates PATH_RESPONSE frames without them being acknowledged. The primary consequence is a Denial of Service (DoS), causing the affected application to terminate abnormally due to memory exhaustion.

A flaw was found in Vim. A modeline is used to set specific editor options directly from a text file. However, the `complete`, `guitabtooltip`, `printheader` options and the `mapset` function lack proper security checks, allowing an attacker to bypass restrictions and cause arbitrary OS command execution.

A flaw was found in Vim's zip.vim plugin. A local user could be tricked into opening a specially crafted zip archive, which would allow a path traversal bypass. This vulnerability enables an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system, potentially leading to data integrity issues or further system compromise.

A flaw was found in OpenSSH. When the `scp` command is used by a root user to download a file with the legacy protocol option (`-O`) and without preserving original file permissions (`-p`), the downloaded file can be installed with elevated privileges (setuid or setgid). This unexpected behavior could allow a malicious file to execute with higher permissions than intended, posing a security risk through potential privilege escalation.

A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary command execution by injecting shell metacharacters into a username provided on the command line. Exploitation requires an untrusted username and a non-default configuration of the '%' character in `ssh_config`.

A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability allows the system to use unintended Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) algorithms. This occurs because the configuration for accepted public key algorithms is misinterpreted, leading to the use of weaker cryptographic methods than intended. This could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality of data.

A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability allows for a low integrity impact due to the omission of connection multiplexing confirmation for proxy-mode multiplexing sessions. A local user, under specific and complex conditions requiring user interaction, could potentially establish a multiplexed session without explicit confirmation, leading to unintended data handling.

A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability arises from the incorrect handling of the authorized_keys principals option in uncommon scenarios. Specifically, when a principals list is used with a Certificate Authority that includes comma characters, OpenSSH may misinterpret the input. This could lead to security bypasses, potentially allowing unintended access or information disclosure in specific authentication contexts.

A flaw was found in Sudo. A local user could exploit a failure in the setuid, setgid, or setgroups calls, which are used to drop privileges before running the mailer. This oversight allows for privilege escalation, enabling the user to gain elevated access on the system.

A flaw was found in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability by calling `gss_accept_sec_context()` on a system with a NegoEx mechanism registered. This can lead to the termination of the process, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A flaw was found in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit an integer underflow and an out-of-bounds read vulnerability by calling `gss_accept_sec_context()` on a system with a NegoEx mechanism registered. This can lead to the process terminating, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. This command injection vulnerability occurs during tag file processing. A local user could craft a malicious tags file containing backtick syntax in the filename field. When Vim resolves a tag from this file, it executes the embedded command via the system shell, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the running user.

A flaw was found in Libgcrypt. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) ciphertext to the `gcry_pk_decrypt` function. This can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow, potentially causing a denial of service (DoS) condition.

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 gnutls. Servers configured with RSA-PSK (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman – Pre-Shared Key) wrongfully matched usernames containing a NUL character with truncated usernames. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted username, leading to an authentication bypass. This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access by circumventing the authentication process.

A flaw was found in gnutls. This vulnerability occurs because permitted name constraints were incorrectly ignored when previous Certificate Authorities (CAs) only had excluded name constraints. A remote attacker could exploit this to bypass critical name constraint checks during certificate validation. This bypass could lead to the acceptance of invalid certificates, potentially enabling spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks against affected systems.

A flaw was found in gnutls. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by presenting a specially crafted certificate that contains Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) or Service (SRV) Subject Alternative Names (SANs). This could cause the certificate validation process to incorrectly fall back to checking DNS hostnames against the Common Name (CN), potentially allowing the attacker to spoof legitimate services or intercept sensitive information.

A flaw was found in gnutls. When validating certificates, an oversized Subject Alternative Name (SAN) could cause the validation process to incorrectly fall back to checking the Common Name (CN) field. This could allow a remote attacker to bypass proper certificate validation, potentially leading to spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks.

A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The `gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin` function, used for changing the Security Officer PIN, can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs when an attacker attempts to change the PIN with a NULL old PIN for a token that lacks a protected authentication path.

A flaw was found in gnutls. An off-by-one error exists in the PKCS#12 bag element bounds check. This vulnerability allows an remote attacker to write past the internal array of a PKCS#12 bag when appending to a bag that already contains 32 elements. This memory corruption could lead to a denial of service (DoS) or potentially other unspecified impacts.

A flaw was found in NGINX. When NGINX is configured to proxy HTTP/2 traffic using the ngx_http_proxy_v2_module or ngx_http_grpc_module with specific settings, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted large headers. This can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, leading to a restart of the NGINX worker process and a Denial of Service (DoS). Under certain conditions, such as when Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is disabled or bypassed, this vulnerability could also allow for arbitrary code execution.

A flaw was found in the OpenSSL QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) server. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted QUIC initial packet with an invalid token. If the server's address validation is explicitly disabled, this could lead to a NULL pointer dereference, causing the server process to terminate abnormally and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. A remote attacker could exploit a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) decryption process by providing a specially crafted password-encrypted CMS message. This occurs because the keyDerivationAlgorithm field, which is optional, is dereferenced without proper validation. Successful exploitation leads to an application crash, resulting in a Denial of Service.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. An attacker controlling a Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) server, or acting as a man-in-the-middle, could craft a malicious CMP response. This response, containing a Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) CertRepMessage with a specific malformed EncryptedValue structure, would trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the OpenSSL CMP client. This vulnerability leads to a crash of the application, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
