Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Information disclosure in 389 Directory Server (upstream of Red Hat Directory Server 11-13, shipped across RHEL 6-10) lets an unauthenticated remote attacker inject LDAP search filters into the CleanAllRUV replication status-check extended operation. Because the handler evaluates attacker-controlled filters against cn=config using elevated replication-plugin privileges and leaks a boolean match result, attackers can blindly enumerate sensitive configuration metadata such as replication bind DNs and password storage scheme details. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the network-reachable, no-authentication attack surface makes it a meaningful reconnaissance primitive.

Remote unauthenticated denial of service in 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base, shipped as Red Hat Directory Server 11-13 and within RHEL 6-10) allows an attacker to crash the LDAP daemon by sending a crafted replication extended operation. The flaw is a stack buffer overflow in the RUV parsing path that triggers during payload decoding before any authorization check, so no credentials are needed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; stack protectors constrain the outcome to a server crash rather than code execution.

Denial of service in Samba's Kerberos KDC password change (kpasswd) service allows authenticated remote attackers to crash the KDC process by submitting specially crafted, malformed ASN.1-encoded password change requests. The server miscalculates the structure size of the incoming request and reads up to six bytes beyond the end of the allocated buffer; when this read strikes unmapped memory, the KDC process terminates rather than simply failing gracefully. No public exploit has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists, but the disruption of a KDC in an Active Directory or Samba domain environment carries significant operational impact since authentication for the entire domain depends on KDC availability.

Confidential Active Directory attribute disclosure in Samba's Active Directory Domain Controller allows an authenticated low-privilege domain user to read protected directory attributes by abusing how LDAP Compare requests are handled. Because Samba fails to validate user-supplied attribute names (LDAP filter injection, CWE-90) and runs the resulting internal search in a trusted context, normal ACL enforcement is bypassed; in gMSA-enabled deployments this permits extraction of msKds-RootKeyData and offline derivation of Group Managed Service Account passwords, which can escalate to full domain compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor patch is available.

Samba's internal DNS server inserts unauthenticated TKEY registration requests into the TKEY name cache before rejecting them, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to exhaust the cache by flooding it with arbitrary TKEY names. Eviction of legitimate cache entries blocks TSIG-authenticated DNS query processing, producing a targeted denial of service against Active Directory environments relying on Samba's built-in DNS backend. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor patch is available from both Samba upstream and Red Hat.

Server-side request forgery in Dogtag PKI's ACME responder enables unauthenticated ACME account holders to direct the certificate server to make arbitrary HTTP GET requests to internal network addresses. The validator incorrectly accepts IP address literals as valid DNS identifiers and follows HTTP redirects without enforcing RFC-compliant public-address filtering, allowing internal network reconnaissance. When the InMemory database backend is in use, the response body returned by internal services is exposed to the attacker through ACME challenge error messages, compounding the confidentiality impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

Path traversal in the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) pmproxy logger servlet on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 permits unauthenticated remote attackers to create arbitrary files and directories on the host filesystem by supplying a crafted hostname value in requests to the service. The primitive is write-only - no file contents can be read - but an attacker can abuse it to corrupt directory structures or exhaust disk space, leading to denial of service. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remote unauthenticated denial of service and memory disclosure in the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) pmproxy service affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. An out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the pmLogLoadInDom() function can be triggered by a specially crafted network request, causing the pmproxy process to crash and potentially leaking sensitive data from process memory. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Remote unauthenticated denial of service in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP), the system performance monitoring toolkit shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, allows an attacker to permanently disable a PCP daemon by triggering a signed integer overflow (CWE-190) in the __pmGetPDU() PDU-length handling routine. A crafted network packet sent during normal PDU processing or SASL authentication negotiation corrupts the read logic so that the daemon can no longer read any subsequent packets, requiring a manual restart. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw yields no code execution or data exposure - impact is availability-only (CVSS 7.5, A:H).

Remote unauthenticated access-control bypass in the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) pmproxy component lets attackers reach the /store endpoint and overwrite arbitrary PMDA (Performance Metrics Domain Agent) metric values, which the reporter (Red Hat) states can escalate to arbitrary code execution and full system takeover. The flaw affects PCP as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the network-reachable, no-authentication attack surface makes exposed pmproxy instances a meaningful risk.

Local privilege escalation in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 arises from the linux_sockets module exposing an unsecured internal connection. An attacker who already holds low-level code execution on the host can leverage this leaked/unprotected socket to run arbitrary commands as root. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV, so exploitation would require an existing foothold rather than remote unauthenticated access.

Local privilege-relevant command injection in Performance Co-Pilot's (PCP) linux_sockets PMDA lets an authenticated user inject shell metacharacters through the network.persocket.filter metric, causing arbitrary commands to run as the PMDA user each time metrics refresh. Reported by Red Hat, it affects the pcp packages shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.

Out-of-bounds write in GNU binutils' BFD library (bfd/elf32-dlx.c) lets a crafted ELF/DLX object file corrupt memory and achieve arbitrary code execution when parsed by any BFD-consuming tool (objdump, readelf, strip, ld, nm, objcopy). Reported by Red Hat and tracked against RHEL 6-10, Hardened Images and OpenShift 4, the flaw is only reachable when binutils is compiled with the DLX backend (typically --enable-targets=all), so exposure is gated by a non-default build option. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis (not in CISA KEV), though the researcher demonstrated code execution via a File Stream Oriented Programming (FSOP) attack on glibc FILE structures.

Out-of-bounds heap read in GNU Binutils linker when processing 32-bit XCOFF files allows local attackers to disclose heap memory and cause denial of service. Affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit or active exploitation identified at time of analysis; EPSS data unavailable.

Authorization bypass in Red Hat Certificate System's CA renewal path allows an authenticated user to renew a certificate belonging to a different realm without the required realm-based authorization check. Affects versions 9, 10, and 11 of the Certificate System on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10. No evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code exists at the time of analysis, and EPSS probability is low (0.21%).

Out-of-bounds heap read in gdk-pixbuf's ICO parser exposes heap memory content through rendered image output, affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10. When processing a crafted ICO file whose pixel indices exceed the defined palette size, the library reads beyond the palette array boundary - heap bytes are treated as palette entries and rendered as RGB pixel values in the output image, enabling an attacker to extract heap content by analyzing the rendered result. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but server-side image processing pipelines that return rendered output to untrusted callers represent a realistic exposure path.

Format string vulnerability in GNU nano's multi-buffer error message handling allows a local low-privileged attacker to cause stack information disclosure, denial of service via crash, or potentially achieve arbitrary memory writes. The flaw (CWE-134) is triggered when a user opens multiple files at startup, one of which carries a specially crafted name containing printf format specifiers and another triggers an ALERT-level error - causing nano to misinterpret the filename as a format string. Reported by Red Hat and scoped to RHEL 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, no public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.

Heap buffer overflow in Red Hat Directory Server (389-ds-base) exposes LDAP services to remote unauthenticated denial of service or potential arbitrary memory write via malformed DN input. When a Distinguished Name containing a legacy-quoted value is processed, the server fails to close the associated heap allocation, permitting a subsequent operation to reference the same memory pointer - a classic heap confusion primitive. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, though the network-accessible unauthenticated attack surface warrants prompt patching for any externally reachable Directory Server deployment.

Local privilege escalation to root in the QEMU Guest Agent (qga) affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, RHEL for NVIDIA 26, and OpenShift Container Platform 4, where a local unprivileged guest user abuses the guest-ssh-add-authorized-keys command handler through symlink manipulation to seize ownership of arbitrary root-owned files. Two attack variants exist - a deterministic directory-symlink bypass and a TOCTOU file-symlink race - both requiring an external management layer such as libvirt to invoke the code path. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the CVSS 7.3 rating and clean path to full root access make it a meaningful local escalation risk in multi-tenant virtualization estates.

Out-of-bounds heap write in QEMU lets a local attacker operating inside a guest virtual machine corrupt memory in the host emulator process, enabling information disclosure, data-integrity corruption, or denial of service. The flaw stems from cpu_physical_memory_map() returning a shorter buffer length than the caller assumes, so subsequent writes spill past the allocation. Rated CVSS 7.8 (CWE-787); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but multiple distributions (Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian) have shipped fixes.

Unvalidated chown in Samba's pam_winbind module allows a local user with narrow sudo delegation to transfer ownership of the root filesystem directory to a system account, causing system-wide denial of service on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10. When mkhomedir is enabled and a system account has its home directory set to '/', any PAM-triggered authentication event run as that account via sudo invokes the chown without path sanitization. The resulting ownership change breaks SSH, sudo, and package-manager functionality, though the 0555 permissions on RHEL prevent write access escalation, confining the impact to high-severity availability loss. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis.

Out-of-bounds read in libsoup's multipart processing exposes applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 to remote denial-of-service or partial memory disclosure. The flaw resides in soup_multipart_input_stream_read_headers() where oversized or malformed multipart boundary strings are not adequately size-validated, allowing an attacker to cause the stream reader to exceed its allocated buffer. A proof-of-concept exists per SSVC data, the attack is rated automatable, and no active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV - placing this in a monitored-but-actionable risk tier rather than an emergency response category.

Memory leak in libsoup's HTTP/2 implementation allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to incrementally exhaust heap memory and crash the affected application through a sustained out-of-memory condition. Affected deployments include any application linking libsoup on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 that handles HTTP/2 connections from untrusted peers. No public exploit code has been identified and CISA has not listed this in KEV; however, the network-accessible attack surface with no authentication requirement makes it relevant for internet-facing services using libsoup. Notably, the provided CVSS vector (C:H/I:N/A:N) is internally inconsistent with the DoS-only description - the correct impact metrics should reflect Availability, not Confidentiality, and this discrepancy is flagged in the risk assessment.

Remote denial of service in libsoup, the GNOME HTTP client/server library, allows unauthenticated attackers to crash any application using libsoup's WebSocket support by sending a single malformed control frame. The parser fails to enforce RFC 6455's 125-byte limit on PING/PONG/CLOSE control frames and mishandles the oversized payload instead of cleanly closing the connection, causing an internal processing crash. Red Hat reports the flaw across RHEL 6 through 10; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and no EPSS score was provided.

Denial of service in libsoup's WebSocket permessage-deflate implementation lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker crash applications by sending a small, highly compressed 'decompression bomb' that expands without bound during inflation, exhausting memory and triggering an Out-of-Memory kill. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 ship the affected libsoup HTTP/WebSocket library, and client connections are especially exposed because the decompressed-size guard (max_total_message_size) is disabled by default for clients. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and this CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.

Denial of service in GStreamer's DTLS plugin allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash any application that performs a DTLS handshake (notably WebRTC/webrtcbin pipelines) by presenting a TLS certificate with an oversized Subject Distinguished Name. The Subject DN is written into a fixed 2048-byte stack buffer with no bounds checking (CWE-121), and overflowing it corrupts the stack and terminates the process. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; impact is limited to availability (process crash), with no code execution or data exposure claimed.

Heap buffer overflow in GStreamer's rfbsrc (RFB/VNC source) plugin lets a malicious VNC server crash or corrupt the memory of any client that connects to it. When the server advertises a 16bpp framebuffer and sends Hextile-encoded updates, the background-fill path writes 32-bit pixels into a 16-bit buffer, producing an out-of-bounds heap write. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the primary confirmed impact is denial of service, with potential for further memory corruption. This is a client-side flaw requiring the victim to connect to attacker-controlled infrastructure.

Timing side-channel exposure in Red Hat Directory Server's PBKDF2-SHA256 password verification allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to send repeated LDAP bind requests and statistically infer partial hash information by measuring response-time differences caused by non-constant-time memcmp() comparisons. Affected deployments span Red Hat Directory Server 11 through 13 and the 389-ds-base package shipped across RHEL 6 through 10. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and practical exploitation is acknowledged to be extremely difficult due to the computational overhead inherent in PBKDF2 key stretching, which substantially degrades the timing signal.

Attribute encryption in the 389-ds-base LDBM backend exposes a cryptographic design flaw affecting Red Hat Directory Server 11, 12, and 13 across all supported RHEL releases (6 through 10). The LDBM backend applies a static, hardcoded initialization vector (IV) for both AES-CBC and 3DES-CBC encryption of directory attribute values, meaning that two entries storing identical plaintext for an encrypted attribute will always produce identical ciphertext blocks - a classic ciphertext equality oracle. An attacker with privileged filesystem-level read access to the LDBM database files can exploit this to determine whether any two encrypted attribute values are identical, leaking relational information about the directory without recovering plaintext. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

GStreamer's webrtcbin component accepts remote SDP offers and answers that are missing the required a=fingerprint attribute due to an inverted boolean logic check in _check_sdp_crypto(), undermining the DTLS certificate fingerprint binding that protects WebRTC media streams from interception. An attacker already positioned as a man-in-the-middle on the WebRTC signaling channel can strip the a=fingerprint attribute from SDP messages, which the vulnerable code then incorrectly accepts, allowing the attacker to substitute their own DTLS certificate and intercept or tamper with encrypted media. No public exploit code exists and no CISA KEV listing has been issued; however, the flaw is architecturally significant because it silently voids a key WebRTC security guarantee rather than causing an obvious crash.

Heap-buffer-overflow in 389 Directory Server's DN normalization routine allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to corrupt heap memory and likely crash the LDAP service. The flaw triggers when the server processes an LDAP operation - such as a search request - whose base DN contains a legacy-quoted value encoding a multivalued nested Relative Distinguished Name (RDN), causing an out-of-bounds write during RDN attribute-value pair sorting. Per the confirmed CVSS vector (PR:N), no authentication is required; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

Denial of service in Red Hat / 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base, versions since ~1.3.2/2013) allows an authenticated LDAP client to crash the server by sending an oversized UNBIND packet over a SASL integrity-protected connection. The oversized data overflows a fixed 512-byte heap receive buffer in sasl_io_recv() (sasl_io.c), and in FreeIPA / Red Hat IdM any domain user, enrolled host, or service account with a valid Kerberos ticket can trigger it after GSSAPI authentication. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and this flaw is distinct from the earlier CVE-2025-14905 schema.c overflow, which did not fix this code path.

Privilege escalation to root and Kerberos-based authentication bypass in SSSD's Active Directory GPO provider affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. Because ad_gpo_extract_smb_components() fails to sanitize '..' sequences in the gPCFileSysPath LDAP attribute (CWE-23), an actor holding AD GPO management rights can force an SSSD-enrolled host to write attacker-controlled files outside the GPO cache as root, injecting Kerberos configuration to bypass authentication. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local-to-domain-wide root privilege escalation in SSSD's LDAP sudo provider allows an authenticated LDAP directory user with write access to any subtree to inject a malicious sudoRole object and gain root-level sudo on every SSSD-enrolled host. The flaw exists because, when ldap_sudo_search_base is left unset, SSSD searches the entire directory tree for sudoRole objects, trusting rules planted anywhere in the DIT. Rated CVSS 8.8 by Red Hat and reported against RHEL 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Heap memory corruption in GIMP's PSD (Photoshop) file parser allows a malicious .psd image to overflow an integer in read_RLE_channel(), producing an undersized heap allocation for the RLE row-length table that is then overwritten row-by-row, potentially yielding denial of service or arbitrary code execution. The flaw affects GIMP as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 9 and is triggered when a victim opens or imports a crafted PSD file. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Integer overflow in GIMP's PlayStation TIM image loader crashes the plug-in when processing a maliciously crafted TIM file, resulting in denial of service. The flaw affects GIMP as packaged on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 9, where the TIM loader multiplies two 16-bit unsigned short values (num_colors × num_cluts) without bounds checking, producing a 32-bit overflow that corrupts CLUT size calculation and triggers an abort. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires user interaction to open a crafted file, limiting real-world impact to targeted social engineering scenarios.

Stack-based memory corruption in GIMP's PNM image parser lets an attacker execute code or crash the application when a victim opens a malicious PNM/PBM/PGM/PPM file. The flaw is an off-by-one in pnmscanner_gettoken() that writes a null terminator one byte past a stack buffer; it is local and requires the user to open the crafted file (UI:R). No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.12%), consistent with the CISA SSVC 'Exploitation: none' judgment.

Heap-based buffer overflow in GIMP's Paint Shop Pro (PSP) image format parser lets an attacker achieve arbitrary code execution or crash the application when a victim opens a maliciously crafted PSP file. The flaw stems from incorrect buffer-size arithmetic on low bit-depth images, and affects GIMP as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 9. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; exploitation requires local file-open interaction (CVSS 7.3).

Two off-by-one errors in FreeIPA's ipa-otpd daemon expose RHEL 6 through 10 deployments configured with an external OAuth2/OIDC Identity Provider to out-of-bounds memory access during the device authorization flow. An attacker who controls or can man-in-the-middle the configured IdP endpoint can serve an oversized authorization response, triggering CWE-787 writes or reads one byte past a fixed-size buffer boundary. The most probable outcome is denial of service of the ipa-otpd daemon; no public exploit has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remote code execution and privilege escalation in HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) affects the hpcups print filter across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, where an integer overflow triggered by specially crafted print data can corrupt memory. This is an incomplete-fix follow-up to CVE-2026-8631, meaning the original patch did not fully close the flaw, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. The Red Hat CVSS of 9.8 reflects a network-reachable, unauthenticated attack path, though realistic exploitation depends on how the CUPS print pipeline is exposed.

Double-free memory corruption in GIMP's PSP file format parser exposes local users to denial of service and potential arbitrary code execution when opening a specially crafted Paint Shop Pro image file. The flaw in read_layer_block() allows heap memory corruption that reliably crashes GIMP and, in a more sophisticated exploitation scenario, could enable arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the victim user. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog, though upstream tagging of the issue as RCE-capable warrants patching in environments where GIMP users may open untrusted image files.

Use-after-free in the SSSD PAM responder crashes the authentication daemon when a local attacker manipulates YubiKey or smartcard contents during an authentication attempt on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10. The primary realized impact is a denial of service - the PAM responder crash disrupts all authentication - but the underlying memory corruption also presents a difficult-to-exploit privilege escalation path. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, and the CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:H/PR:H) reflects a tightly constrained local attack requiring high privileges and significant complexity, limiting realistic blast radius to insider-threat and physical-access scenarios.

Denial of service in libarchive's RAR5 reader allows remote attackers to crash applications that decompress untrusted RAR5 archives via a double-free (CWE-415) of the stale filtered_buf pointer. Reported by Red Hat and affecting libarchive as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images, the flaw is triggered purely by parsing a malicious archive entry. No public exploit has been identified and the issue is not in CISA KEV; impact is limited to availability (CVSS 7.5, A:H only) with no code execution or data exposure claimed.

Stack exhaustion in p11-kit's RPC server crashes the daemon and any dependent cryptographic services on affected Red Hat systems. The vulnerability exists in the PKCS#11 RPC message parsing layer, where two attribute-handling functions form a mutually-recursive call chain with no depth limit when processing nested CKA_WRAP_TEMPLATE, CKA_UNWRAP_TEMPLATE, and CKA_DERIVE_TEMPLATE attributes - allowing any local user or process with socket access to crash the server by sending a single crafted request. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and impact is limited to availability (denial of service) with no confidentiality or integrity consequence.

Path traversal in spice-vdagent enables a malicious or compromised SPICE host to write arbitrary files to any location on the guest operating system during file transfer operations. Affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10, the flaw stems from unsanitized filenames supplied by the SPICE host before use by the vdagent process, allowing writes at the privilege level of the logged-in guest user. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires prior control of the SPICE host - a high-privilege precondition that substantially constrains realistic risk despite the high integrity impact.

Integer overflow in spice-vdagent's message parsing allows a malicious or compromised SPICE host to crash the guest VM's vdagent daemon by delivering a specially crafted message that triggers a downstream heap buffer overflow. Affected deployments span spice-vdagent as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, where the daemon runs inside guests handling host-to-guest SPICE protocol communications. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; exploitation is structurally constrained by the requirement that the attacking SPICE host itself be untrusted or already compromised prior to the attack.

Heap out-of-bounds read in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad H.264 parser allows an attacker to crash a media application or leak a single byte of heap memory by tricking a victim into opening a specially crafted H.264 video file containing malformed MVC or SVC extension slice NAL units. Affected systems span Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 where gst-plugins-bad is installed. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV; the narrow 1-byte read, required user interaction, and local attack vector substantially limit real-world exploitation impact.

Heap out-of-bounds read in dnsmasq's find_soa() function allows a remote attacker controlling a DNS zone to leak up to 10 bytes of stale heap memory by serving a crafted NXDOMAIN response. The flaw exists because extract_name() is invoked with extrabytes=0 when parsing NS section records, skipping the mandatory boundary check for the 10-byte fixed-length DNS record trailer fields. Confirmed affected platforms include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

OpenSSH's GSSAPI authentication cleanup routine contains a heap out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) triggered when the auth-indicators array lacks a trailing NULL terminator, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the SSH authentication path and deny SSH service availability. Exploitation is constrained by high attack complexity (AC:H) due to the non-default Kerberos/GSSAPI configuration requirement, limiting real-world exposure to a minority of deployments. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), no public exploit code has been identified, and the impact is restricted to partial availability loss with no confidentiality or integrity consequence.

X11 forwarding session hijacking in OpenSSH enables a local unprivileged attacker sharing a Linux client host to intercept and partially manipulate the victim's forwarded X11 display traffic by squatting on the predictable abstract UNIX domain socket name before the SSH client creates it. Affected deployments span OpenSSH packages across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but successful exploitation yields high-confidence access to sensitive X11 session data including keystrokes, window contents, and clipboard material.

Client-side Denial of Service in OpenSSH's Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange implementation allows a malicious SSH server to crash connecting clients running in FIPS mode. When a victim initiates an SSH connection to an attacker-controlled server, the server sends crafted DH-GEX group parameters that trigger a double free (CWE-415) during FIPS known-group validation, terminating the client process. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; however, the constraint that only FIPS-mode clients are affected limits real-world impact to regulated or government environments.

Malformed HTTP Range request handling in libsoup (GNOME's HTTP client/server library, packaged across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10) re-introduces a signed integer underflow originally patched in CVE-2026-2443. A rework commit replaced specific overflow guards with a general signed comparison, meaning a suffix-byte Range request whose length exceeds the resource content size now produces a negative start offset that is passed unclamped to buffer operations, generating malformed HTTP 206 responses and log flooding. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the unauthenticated network vector makes any exposed libsoup HTTP server reachable without credentials.

Heap-based buffer overflow in dnsmasq's DNSSEC logging path enables remote denial of service against instances where both DNSSEC validation and query logging are simultaneously enabled. When dnsmasq receives a DS or DNSKEY DNS response containing an algorithm or digest type it does not recognize, its logging routine writes past the end of an internal heap-allocated buffer, corrupting memory and crashing the process. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog; however, the network-deliverable attack vector (PR:N) makes the configuration prerequisite the primary limiting factor for defenders.

Use-after-free in 389 Directory Server's schema reload path crashes the server when administrative schema reloads race against active LDAP query worker threads. The `attr_syntax_swap_ht()` function bypasses the refcount-based deferred deletion mechanism used throughout the attribute syntax subsystem, directly freeing nodes that concurrent worker threads may still hold references to. Affected products span Red Hat Directory Server 11, 12, and 13 across RHEL 6 through 10; no public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS score of 5.0 reflects the high-complexity, high-privilege prerequisites that substantially reduce real-world risk.

Local privilege escalation in the cifs-utils cifs.upcall helper allows low-privileged Linux users to gain root by abusing the kernel request_key interface to load a malicious NSS module inside an attacker-controlled mount namespace. The root-owned helper fails to drop privileges before performing user-name resolution, so the attacker's NSS module executes with full root capabilities. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug affects every supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux release (6 through 10) and OpenShift Container Platform 4, making it a high-priority hardening fix for any host with CIFS/SMB client functionality.

Heap buffer overflow in 389 Directory Server's ACI parsing layer allows an authenticated LDAP user with write access to the `aci` attribute to silently corrupt heap memory in the directory server process by submitting a malformed Access Control Instruction string. The `__aclp__normalize_acltxt()` function in `aclparse.c` performs pointer arithmetic on the keyword portion of an ACI string without validating minimum remaining buffer length after whitespace stripping, resulting in a 1-byte out-of-bounds write followed by out-of-bounds reads (CWE-787). No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; an upstream fix is available via GitHub PR #7542 but a released patched version has not been independently confirmed.

Arbitrary file deletion in evolution-data-server's addressbook file backend exposes host filesystem to manipulation by a Flatpak application with D-Bus access. The vulnerability exploits split validation logic: a crafted URI embedding directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../') is accepted without sufficient sanitization during contact creation or modification, but when the same URI is later processed at deletion time, a second, less restrictive check fails to catch the traversal - allowing files outside the intended addressbook directory to be removed. Critically, deletion of Flatpak override files could be leveraged to silently weaken sandbox restrictions for subsequent application runs. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

Use-after-free memory corruption in GnuTLS's PKCS#11 PIN management function `gnutls_pkcs11_token_set_pin` enables a local low-privileged attacker to crash the process and potentially corrupt memory on systems where PKCS#11 tokens are deployed without a protected authentication path. Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, as confirmed by Red Hat (reporter) and covered under GnuTLS upstream advisory GNUTLS-SA-2026-04-29-9. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Denial of service in GStreamer's AV1 codec parser (gst-plugins-bad) allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash any application using GStreamer for AV1 media playback by delivering a specially crafted AV1 file. The root cause is a unit mismatch in the gst_av1_parser_parse_tile_list_obu() function, which feeds a byte count to an API expecting a bit count, desynchronizing the parser and triggering an assertion abort. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires user interaction; however, the vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 where GStreamer is a core multimedia component.

Out-of-bounds read in GStreamer's VMnc decoder allows remote attackers to crash the application or disclose memory contents when a victim opens a maliciously crafted VMnc video file. The flaw stems from a signed integer overflow in payload-size arithmetic that bypasses a length check when cursor dimensions are abnormally large. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Heap buffer overflow in GStreamer's librfb (RFB/VNC client) allows a malicious VNC server to corrupt heap memory on a connecting client, potentially leading to remote code execution or denial of service. The flaw stems from validating rectangle area instead of individual dimensions, letting attacker-controlled rectangles extend beyond the framebuffer. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the issue affects GStreamer as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10.

Out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in GStreamer's pcapparse element expose Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 users to potential application crashes or limited memory disclosure when processing malformed PCAP files. The flaws reside in IPv4/TCP header parsing logic, where specially crafted PCAP records trigger reads beyond buffer boundaries across multiple code paths. Real-world exposure is materially constrained by pcapparse's restriction to debugging pipelines, the requirement for local user interaction, and high attack complexity; no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

Out-of-bounds read in the VA JPEG decoder shipped in GStreamer's gst-plugins-bad allows a remote attacker to crash the decoder or potentially leak adjacent memory contents when a victim opens a maliciously crafted JPEG file. The flaw stems from the JPEG parser trusting a segment-length value from the bitstream without verifying it fits within the buffer, and affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 where the plugin is consumed. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV.

Content injection in libreport's ABRT post-create event handler grants a low-privileged local user the ability to control file content that the root process writes into crash dump directories. When a monitored process crashes, the event handler script queries the systemd journal for matching log entries and writes the results directly to dump directory files without stripping embedded control characters - allowing an attacker who can write syslog messages to pre-position newline-delimited payloads that corrupt or inject arbitrary lines into those root-owned files. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is constrained to local access with low privileges.

Local privilege escalation via arbitrary root-owned file overwrite affects libreport's ABRT post-create event handler scripts on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, and 8. The event scripts write output using shell redirections that lack the O_NOFOLLOW flag, so a local low-privileged user who plants a symlink in a writable crash-dump path can cause the root shell to follow it and clobber any file on the system, which can be leveraged for full system compromise. SSVC rates technical impact as total, but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is negligible (0.02%, 5th percentile).

Local privilege escalation in the abrt-dbus D-Bus service on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, and 8 allows a low-privileged local user to race the ChownProblemDir method against still-running post-create event handlers. By invoking ChownProblemDir while privileged event scripts hold a write lock on the dump directory, the attacker gains filesystem ownership of files being written by root-context handlers, enabling tampering with privileged output and potential privilege escalation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local privilege escalation in the abrt-dbus D-Bus service on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, and 8 allows any unprivileged local user to win a TOCTOU race against the SetElement method, writing arbitrary text files into root-owned dump directories. By exploiting the gap between dump directory creation and post-create event execution, an attacker bypasses package validation and persists crash data for unpackaged binaries inside privileged paths, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Out-of-bounds heap write in QEMU's virtio-blk device allows a high-privileged guest to crash the host QEMU process. The flaw exists because the virtio-blk device omits validation of input descriptor sizes prior to writing data, enabling a malicious guest operator to submit a crafted virtio-blk SCSI request that writes beyond the allocated host heap buffer. The primary confirmed impact is a denial of service (DoS) of the QEMU process on the host; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Heap buffer overflow in 389 Directory Server (389-ds-base) SASL I/O layer allows authenticated remote attackers to crash the LDAP service or achieve remote code execution after a successful SASL bind with integrity protection (SSF > 0). The flaw stems from an integer overflow in sasl_io_start_packet() that bypasses the nsslapd-maxsasliosize ceiling, enabling roughly 2 MB of attacker-controlled heap corruption. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the impact is amplified in FreeIPA and Red Hat Identity Management deployments where any enrolled user, host, or service principal qualifies as an authenticated attacker.

Heap out-of-bounds read in MIT krb5's LDAP KDB plugin allows a compromised or malicious LDAP backend to crash the KDC or kadmind process, or leak heap memory. The flaw exists in berval2tl_data() within libkdb_ldap and is triggered when the LDAP server returns a krbExtraData attribute with bv_len less than 2, causing an unsigned integer underflow that drives a memcpy of up to 65,534 bytes from a near-zero-length source buffer. Exploitation requires prior control of the LDAP KDB backend server (PR:H, AC:H), constraining real-world risk to insider or supply-chain threat scenarios; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.

Root command injection in dracut's legacy DHCP path allows adjacent-network attackers to execute arbitrary commands inside the initramfs by sending crafted DHCP options (e.g., malicious hostname) that are written unescaped into temporary shell scripts. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4, granting full system compromise during early boot. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.16%, 36th percentile), but SSVC rates technical impact as total.

Heap buffer overflow in Red Hat 389 Directory Server allows an authenticated Directory Manager or a compromised replication supplier to crash the server or corrupt heap memory by creating objectclass definitions with excessively long SUP (oc_superior) values. The flaw exists in schema serialization functions where the SUP field length is excluded from buffer size calculations yet still written via strcat(), producing an off-by-N heap overwrite. This is explicitly an incomplete fix variant of CVE-2025-14905, meaning organizations that patched that prior CVE may remain exposed if the SUP field code path was not remediated; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

Heap buffer overflow in Red Hat Directory Server's audit logging subsystem allows an authenticated high-privilege attacker to corrupt heap memory and tamper with audit log output. The vulnerable function create_masked_entry_string() in auditlog.c writes a fixed-length password mask into a precisely-sized heap buffer without bounds checking, overflowing when a short cleartext password is processed. Exploitation requires two non-default preconditions - audit logging must be enabled AND either CLEAR password storage must be configured or a replication peer must already be compromised - limiting real-world exposure significantly. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Stack buffer overflow in 389 Directory Server's pw.c checkPrefix() function allows a network-accessible Directory Manager to crash the LDAP server by storing a crafted credential with an oversized algorithm ID. The vulnerable code copies attacker-controlled input into a fixed 256-byte stack buffer without bounds checking when parsing reversible-encrypted attribute values. FORTIFY_SOURCE compiler hardening constrains impact to denial of service - preventing arbitrary code execution - but service disruption against a critical authentication infrastructure component remains operationally significant. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Uncontrolled CPU consumption in Red Hat 389 Directory Server's PBKDF2-SHA256 password storage plugin allows a highly privileged attacker who has write access to stored password hashes to craft a hash embedding an arbitrarily large iteration count, causing the LDAP server to exhaust CPU resources during any subsequent authentication attempt by the targeted user. Affected products span Red Hat Directory Server 11 through 13 and the 389-ds package as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and active exploitation has not been confirmed by CISA KEV.

Denial-of-service in Red Hat's 389 Directory Server allows a highly privileged network attacker to crash the LDAP service by submitting a crafted password hash shorter than 16 bytes during authentication. The SMD5 password storage plugin performs an unsigned integer underflow (CWE-191) when computing salt length from this malformed input, producing a buffer over-read that terminates the server process. No public exploit code exists and this vulnerability has not been confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV), but the impact is a complete loss of LDAP availability with low attack complexity once the required privilege level is achieved.

Remote denial of service in 389 Directory Server (Red Hat Directory Server 11/12/13 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10) allows unauthenticated network attackers to crash the LDAP daemon by exploiting an unchecked BER structure allocation in the dereference control plugin when the host is under memory pressure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.09%, 25th percentile), but the unauthenticated network-reachable nature warrants prompt patching of internet-facing or business-critical directory services.

Heap buffer over-read in Red Hat Directory Server's ldap_utf8prev() function exposes LDAP deployments to potential confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact via crafted string filter input. The flaw affects authenticated, network-accessible LDAP servers running Red Hat Directory Server 11, 12, and 13 as well as the 389-ds component shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; however, its presence in filter parsing logic - a core LDAP code path - warrants prompt patching in internet-exposed or multi-tenant directory environments.

Partial stack address disclosure in Red Hat 389 Directory Server (versions 11, 12, and 13) allows authenticated remote users to extract memory layout information via crafted LDAP extended operation requests. The root cause is a CWE-843 type confusion in the SSO token extended operation handler, which causes stack pointer data to bleed into LDAP response payloads. While the direct impact is limited to low-confidence information disclosure, leaked stack addresses are a classic ASLR-weakening primitive that could facilitate chained exploitation. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

Out-of-bounds read in 389 Directory Server's LDIF parser exposes limited heap memory to a highly privileged local attacker during database import operations. Exploitation requires local system access, high attack complexity, and high privileges (administrator-level), producing only minor confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability consequences. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no KEV listing; the CVSS score of 1.9 reflects the extremely constrained exploitation conditions, making this a low operational priority absent specific threat model considerations.

Denial of service in Red Hat 389 Directory Server's Content Synchronization persistent search plugin enables authenticated network clients to exhaust server memory by initiating a sync operation and halting consumption of responses, causing unbounded queue growth until the server becomes unavailable. Compounding this, race conditions in the plugin's thread lifecycle management can independently trigger server crashes during connection teardown or graceful shutdown. Affected across Red Hat Directory Server 11, 12, and 13 as well as the bundled 389-ds-base package on RHEL 6 through 10. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing.

Use-after-free read in X.Org X server and Xwayland's CreateSaverWindow() function exposes heap memory to local authenticated users, resulting in information disclosure. A low-privileged local X client can manipulate window attributes and force screen saver activation to trigger a read from freed memory, leaking potentially sensitive heap contents (C:H/I:N/A:N). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; however, an upstream fix commit has been published and a Red Hat advisory is available.

Out-of-bounds read in X.Org X server and Xwayland's GLX extension handler `__glXDisp_ChangeDrawableAttributes()` allows a local low-privileged user to disclose sensitive memory contents from the X server process. Faulty size validation permits reading a client-controlled number of bytes beyond the request buffer boundary, resulting in high confidentiality impact per CVSS. A secondary write path exists in the same function but is gated behind byte-swapped client support, which is disabled by default, substantially limiting its practical exposure. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis.

Out-of-bounds heap write in X.Org X server and Xwayland DRI2 buffer handling allows a local authenticated client to corrupt server memory by requesting multiple DRI2BufferBackLeft attachments alongside one DRI2BufferFrontLeft. Successful exploitation crashes the display server or, when the X server runs setuid root (a still-common legacy deployment), enables local privilege escalation to root. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local privilege escalation in the X.Org X server and Xwayland arises from a use-after-free in SyncChangeCounter() that a local authenticated attacker can trigger by orchestrating two client connections - one creating multiple SyncCounters, the other destroying them while they are being changed. On systems where the X server still runs as root (common on legacy Linux setups), successful exploitation yields root code execution; at minimum it crashes the display server. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug is confirmed by Red Hat and a fix has landed upstream in xserver.

Local privilege escalation in the X.Org X server and Xwayland arises from a use-after-free in FreeCounter() when SyncCounter objects are destroyed across multiple client connections. Authenticated local attackers on affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 systems can crash the server or escalate to root when the X server runs with elevated privileges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local privilege escalation in X.Org X server and Xwayland stems from an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-26597, where CheckKeyTypes() fails to clamp non-canonical key types to XkbMaxShiftLevel, enabling stack-based buffer overflows. Authenticated local users on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 can crash the display server or, when X runs as root, escalate to root privileges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the upstream commit reveals the vulnerable code path and the prior CVE-2025-26597 has known exploitation history.

Stack-based buffer overflow in X.Org X server and Xwayland's _XkbSetMapChecks() function allows local authenticated attackers to crash the server or potentially escalate privileges to root when the X server runs with elevated privileges. The flaw resides in CheckKeyTypes() writing to a fixed mapWidths[256] stack buffer at a client-controlled offset, affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but an upstream fix has been merged into the xserver repository.

Local privilege escalation in the X.Org X server and Xwayland stems from a stack-based buffer overflow during font alias resolution, where a 256-byte server-side stack buffer is overrun by libXfont2 alias target names of up to 1023 bytes. An authenticated local attacker who can influence font alias files can crash the server or, when the X server runs as root, escalate to root privileges. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and CVSS is 7.8 (Local/Low complexity/Low privileges).

Local privilege escalation in X.Org X server and Xwayland enables authenticated local users to trigger a use-after-free in miSyncDestroyFence() by racing two client connections against a shared fence object. Successful exploitation can crash the display server or escalate privileges to root when the X server runs as root, which remains common on legacy and embedded Linux deployments. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but an upstream fix has been committed by the X.Org maintainers.
