RHSA-2026:8423
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-04-22 08:28 - Updated: 2026-04-23 06:09A flaw was identified in the RAR5 archive decompression logic of the libarchive library, specifically within the archive_read_data() processing path. When a specially crafted RAR5 archive is processed, the decompression routine may enter a state where internal logic prevents forward progress. This condition results in an infinite loop that continuously consumes CPU resources. Because the archive passes checksum validation and appears structurally valid, affected applications cannot detect the issue before processing. This can allow attackers to cause persistent denial-of-service conditions in services that automatically process archives.
A flaw was found in Vim, an open source, command line text editor. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the tag file resolution logic when processing the 'helpfile' option. A local user could exploit this by providing a specially crafted 'helpfile' option value, leading to a heap buffer overflow. This could result in arbitrary code execution or a denial of service.
A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. Specifically, an operating system (OS) command injection vulnerability exists in the `netrw` standard plugin. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted URL, such as one using the `scp://` protocol handler. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands with the same privileges as the Vim process, leading to potential system compromise.
A flaw was found in Vim. This vulnerability, a heap-buffer-overflow and a segmentation fault, exists in the swap file recovery logic. A local attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted swap file. This could lead to a denial of service (DoS) or potentially information disclosure.
A flaw was found in Vim. By including a newline character in a pattern passed to Vim's glob() function, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary shell commands. This command injection vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution, depending on the user's shell settings.
