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.
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.
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.
Denial of service in dbus-broker allows a local attacker to crash the user session bus broker when file descriptor limits are exhausted. Affected products include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9/10, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images where dbus-broker is deployed. No active exploitation or public exploit code is known, and EPSS indicates low exploitation probability (0.11%).
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.
Symlink-following vulnerability (CWE-59) in systemd-tmpfiles allows a local, low-privileged user to redirect privileged file write operations to an attacker-controlled path on affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. The flaw resides in the path resolution logic within chase.c, where a safety check incorrectly treats all transitions away from the root user as inherently safe - failing to detect attacker-placed symlinks at tmpfiles.d target path components. Exploitation is constrained by high attack complexity requiring a specific non-default tmpfiles.d configuration, and no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Stack-based buffer overflow in rpcbind's rpcinfo client utility crashes the rpcinfo process when a user or administrator runs `rpcinfo -s` against a malicious or compromised rpcbind endpoint. The flaw is in the `rpcbdump()` short-mode function, which writes version number data from a remote RPCBPROC_DUMP reply into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds validation. Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10 as well as OpenShift Container Platform 4; no public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog, placing real-world urgency in the medium tier despite the network-accessible attack vector.
Sensitive memory exposure in kronosnet (versions <=1.34) allows a local attacker to recover live cluster encryption keys from freed heap memory following cryptographic configuration changes. Affected deployments include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, 10, and OpenShift Container Platform 4, where kronosnet underpins the high-availability networking stack. Successful key recovery enables full decryption of cluster communications or malicious packet injection capable of destabilizing HA cluster quorum - no public exploit code identified and no CISA KEV listing at time of analysis.
ACL bypass in kronosnet (versions ≤ 1.34) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary data packets into cluster communication channels under a specific dual-condition deployment configuration. By spoofing a valid link ID in crafted network frames, an attacker circumvents the ACL subsystem entirely, potentially causing data corruption or service instabilities in clustering stacks shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code and no active exploitation have been identified at time of analysis.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the rpcinfo client utility (part of the rpcbind package) crashes the client process when querying a malicious or compromised rpcbind server using the `-l` flag. Address data returned by the server is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds validation (CWE-121), enabling a server-side attacker to trigger a denial of service against any administrator or script that runs `rpcinfo -l` against their controlled endpoint. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing; impact is confined to client-side availability with no confidentiality or integrity exposure.
Out-of-bounds memory corruption in kronosnet's packet reassembly engine (versions ≤ 1.34) enables a remote, unauthenticated network attacker to crash the kronosnet process or cause heap corruption by transmitting malformed fragmented packets carrying invalid sequence numbers. Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, making this relevant to HA clustering infrastructure that depends on kronosnet for inter-node communication via Corosync or Pacemaker. No public exploit code and no active exploitation have been identified at time of analysis, though the network-accessible, no-privilege-required attack path elevates operational risk for clustered environments despite the AC:H complexity rating.
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.
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.
Heap use-after-free read in libblkid (util-linux) enables unauthenticated local attackers to crash udisks or leak root-process heap data by presenting a crafted block device image during nested partition probing. BSD, Minix, Solaris x86, and UnixWare partition table parsers cache raw pointers into a dynamically allocated partition array; when subsequent partition additions trigger array reallocation, those pointers become stale and dereference freed memory. Because udev and udisks invoke libblkid automatically as root on block-device hot-plug events, USB insertion alone is sufficient to trigger the flaw without any user interaction or authentication. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Local privilege escalation in NetworkManager's dhclient backend allows a low-privileged local user to execute arbitrary OS commands with elevated privileges by supplying a crafted Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) URL. Exploitation is strictly limited to systems where an administrator has explicitly reconfigured NetworkManager to use the dhclient backend - a non-default setting - meaning the vast majority of deployments are unaffected by design. CVSS 6.7 (local vector, high complexity, user interaction required) accurately reflects the constrained exploitation conditions; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.
GnuTLS's PKCS#7 padding validation during decryption is not implemented as a constant-time operation, creating a timing side-channel (CWE-208) that remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit to infer padding byte values on CBC-mode cipher suites. Affected deployments include GnuTLS as packaged across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. Red Hat has issued patch RHSA-2026:20613; no active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified, but the network-reachable, no-auth-required attack surface warrants patching on systems handling sensitive encrypted traffic.
Server-side request forgery in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4's Router component allows authenticated users with EndpointSlice write permissions to coerce the router into proxying requests to cloud provider instance metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254), exposing instance credentials and sensitive metadata. The flaw bypasses prior IP-address-based validation by abusing FQDN-backed EndpointSlices that resolve to metadata services. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not present on CISA KEV.
Memory corruption via an off-by-one error in GnuTLS PKCS#12 bag element handling exposes any application using GnuTLS to remote unauthenticated denial of service - and potentially unspecified further impact - when a crafted PKCS#12 structure is parsed. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no elevated complexity, making internet-exposed services that parse client-supplied PKCS#12 inputs the primary risk surface. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
GnuTLS with OCSP verification enabled incorrectly accepts revoked server certificates when presented with specially crafted multi-record OCSP responses during TLS handshakes, allowing attackers to bypass certificate revocation checks and establish connections to compromised servers. The vulnerability requires high attack complexity and specific OCSP configuration, affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.
The readelf utility in binutils is vulnerable to denial of service through two distinct flaws triggered by maliciously crafted ELF files: a resource exhaustion vulnerability (CWE-400) causing out-of-memory conditions and a null pointer dereference (CWE-476) causing segmentation faults. Both vulnerabilities require local access and user interaction to open a malicious file, resulting in the readelf utility crashing or becoming unresponsive. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.
Format string vulnerability in nano's statusline() function allows local users to trigger a segmentation fault via directory names containing printf specifiers, causing denial of service. Exploitation requires user interaction (opening a directory with the crafted name) on systems where nano is available to local users. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis.
The readelf utility in binutils is vulnerable to denial of service through null pointer dereference when processing specially crafted ELF files. A local attacker with limited privileges can trigger excessive resource consumption or program crashes by convincing a user to process a malicious ELF binary, affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8, and 10. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at this time.
Nano text editor creates ~/.local directory with overly permissive 0777 permissions instead of 0700 in environments with permissive umask settings, allowing local authenticated users to inject malicious .desktop launcher files that could lead to information disclosure or unintended actions when processed. CVSS score 2.5 reflects local attack vector and low integrity impact, with active exploitation status unknown and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.
Local denial of service in SSSD's PAM passkey responder allows a low-privileged attacker to crash the daemon by sending crafted passkey authentication data, disrupting authentication services on affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift systems. The vulnerability is not known to be actively exploited, and its EPSS score is negligible (0.01%).
Local man-in-the-middle and SSH security downgrade in libssh on Windows stems from the library automatically loading configuration files from C:\etc, a directory that any unprivileged local user can create and populate. By planting a malicious config, an attacker can manipulate trusted host data and weaken SSH cryptographic negotiation, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of SSH sessions established by applications linking libssh. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.01%), and it is not in CISA KEV.
Libarchive's archive_acl_from_text_nl() function fails to validate malformed ACL strings before dereferencing pointers, allowing local attackers to crash applications that process untrusted archives via specially crafted ACL fields. This NULL pointer dereference results in denial of service with high availability impact. CVSS 5.5 reflects local attack vector and user interaction requirement; no public exploit code or active exploitation confirmed at analysis time.
Improper hostname canonicalization in util-linux login(1) utility with the -h option allows remote attackers to bypass host-based PAM access control rules by supplying specially crafted hostnames that are modified before being passed to PAM_RHOST, potentially leading to unauthorized access. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 through 10 and related products; exploitation requires high attack complexity but no authentication or user interaction. No public exploit code has been identified, and this is not currently confirmed as actively exploited.
Firewalld on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9, and 10, as well as OpenShift Container Platform 4, contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in two D-Bus setters (setZoneSettings2 and setPolicySettings) that allows local unprivileged users to modify runtime firewall configurations without proper authorization. An authenticated local attacker can exploit this to change network security policies, potentially enabling lateral movement or service disruption. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, though Red Hat has issued security advisories (CVE-2026-4948, Bugzilla #2452086).
libssh attempts to open arbitrary files during configuration parsing, allowing local attackers with limited privileges to trigger a denial of service by forcing access to dangerous files such as block devices or large system files. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, as well as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, and requires local access with low privileges to exploit. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at the time of analysis.
libssh's match_pattern() function is vulnerable to ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) attacks when processing maliciously crafted hostnames in client configuration or known_hosts files, allowing local attackers with limited privileges and user interaction to trigger inefficient regex backtracking that exhausts system resources and causes client-side timeouts. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, with CVSS 2.2 reflecting low severity due to local attack vector and high complexity requirements, though the denial of service impact warrants attention in environments where SSH client availability is critical.
Libssh versions used across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 are vulnerable to a null pointer dereference when processing malformed 'longname' fields in SFTP SSH_FXP_NAME messages, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger denial of service through application crashes. The attack requires user interaction and high attack complexity (CVSS 3.1, CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) but affects a widely deployed SSH library; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
SCP client implementations across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 are vulnerable to path traversal during file transfer, allowing a malicious SCP server to write files outside the designated working directory and potentially execute arbitrary code or modify system configuration. This vulnerability mirrors CVE-2019-6111 in OpenSSH; unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit it with high user interaction (the victim must initiate an SCP connection to a malicious server), resulting in confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at the time of analysis.
A specially crafted XCOFF object file can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read in the GNU Binutils BFD library due to improper validation of relocation type values. This affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, potentially allowing local attackers with user interaction to crash affected tools or disclose sensitive memory contents. While not currently listed in CISA KEV as actively exploited, the vulnerability is tracked across Red Hat, Sourceware, and Bugzilla with upstream references indicating visibility and likely patch development.

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.
Local privilege escalation in NetworkManager's dhclient backend allows a low-privileged local user to execute arbitrary OS commands with elevated privileges by supplying a crafted Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) URL. Exploitation is strictly limited to systems where an administrator has explicitly reconfigured NetworkManager to use the dhclient backend - a non-default setting - meaning the vast majority of deployments are unaffected by design. CVSS 6.7 (local vector, high complexity, user interaction required) accurately reflects the constrained exploitation conditions; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.
GnuTLS's PKCS#7 padding validation during decryption is not implemented as a constant-time operation, creating a timing side-channel (CWE-208) that remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit to infer padding byte values on CBC-mode cipher suites. Affected deployments include GnuTLS as packaged across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. Red Hat has issued patch RHSA-2026:20613; no active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified, but the network-reachable, no-auth-required attack surface warrants patching on systems handling sensitive encrypted traffic.
Server-side request forgery in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4's Router component allows authenticated users with EndpointSlice write permissions to coerce the router into proxying requests to cloud provider instance metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254), exposing instance credentials and sensitive metadata. The flaw bypasses prior IP-address-based validation by abusing FQDN-backed EndpointSlices that resolve to metadata services. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not present on CISA KEV.
Memory corruption via an off-by-one error in GnuTLS PKCS#12 bag element handling exposes any application using GnuTLS to remote unauthenticated denial of service - and potentially unspecified further impact - when a crafted PKCS#12 structure is parsed. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no elevated complexity, making internet-exposed services that parse client-supplied PKCS#12 inputs the primary risk surface. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.
GnuTLS with OCSP verification enabled incorrectly accepts revoked server certificates when presented with specially crafted multi-record OCSP responses during TLS handshakes, allowing attackers to bypass certificate revocation checks and establish connections to compromised servers. The vulnerability requires high attack complexity and specific OCSP configuration, affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.
The readelf utility in binutils is vulnerable to denial of service through two distinct flaws triggered by maliciously crafted ELF files: a resource exhaustion vulnerability (CWE-400) causing out-of-memory conditions and a null pointer dereference (CWE-476) causing segmentation faults. Both vulnerabilities require local access and user interaction to open a malicious file, resulting in the readelf utility crashing or becoming unresponsive. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.
Format string vulnerability in nano's statusline() function allows local users to trigger a segmentation fault via directory names containing printf specifiers, causing denial of service. Exploitation requires user interaction (opening a directory with the crafted name) on systems where nano is available to local users. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis.
The readelf utility in binutils is vulnerable to denial of service through null pointer dereference when processing specially crafted ELF files. A local attacker with limited privileges can trigger excessive resource consumption or program crashes by convincing a user to process a malicious ELF binary, affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8, and 10. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at this time.
Nano text editor creates ~/.local directory with overly permissive 0777 permissions instead of 0700 in environments with permissive umask settings, allowing local authenticated users to inject malicious .desktop launcher files that could lead to information disclosure or unintended actions when processed. CVSS score 2.5 reflects local attack vector and low integrity impact, with active exploitation status unknown and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.
Local denial of service in SSSD's PAM passkey responder allows a low-privileged attacker to crash the daemon by sending crafted passkey authentication data, disrupting authentication services on affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift systems. The vulnerability is not known to be actively exploited, and its EPSS score is negligible (0.01%).
Local man-in-the-middle and SSH security downgrade in libssh on Windows stems from the library automatically loading configuration files from C:\etc, a directory that any unprivileged local user can create and populate. By planting a malicious config, an attacker can manipulate trusted host data and weaken SSH cryptographic negotiation, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of SSH sessions established by applications linking libssh. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is negligible (0.01%), and it is not in CISA KEV.
Libarchive's archive_acl_from_text_nl() function fails to validate malformed ACL strings before dereferencing pointers, allowing local attackers to crash applications that process untrusted archives via specially crafted ACL fields. This NULL pointer dereference results in denial of service with high availability impact. CVSS 5.5 reflects local attack vector and user interaction requirement; no public exploit code or active exploitation confirmed at analysis time.
Improper hostname canonicalization in util-linux login(1) utility with the -h option allows remote attackers to bypass host-based PAM access control rules by supplying specially crafted hostnames that are modified before being passed to PAM_RHOST, potentially leading to unauthorized access. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 through 10 and related products; exploitation requires high attack complexity but no authentication or user interaction. No public exploit code has been identified, and this is not currently confirmed as actively exploited.
Firewalld on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9, and 10, as well as OpenShift Container Platform 4, contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in two D-Bus setters (setZoneSettings2 and setPolicySettings) that allows local unprivileged users to modify runtime firewall configurations without proper authorization. An authenticated local attacker can exploit this to change network security policies, potentially enabling lateral movement or service disruption. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, though Red Hat has issued security advisories (CVE-2026-4948, Bugzilla #2452086).
libssh attempts to open arbitrary files during configuration parsing, allowing local attackers with limited privileges to trigger a denial of service by forcing access to dangerous files such as block devices or large system files. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, as well as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, and requires local access with low privileges to exploit. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at the time of analysis.
libssh's match_pattern() function is vulnerable to ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) attacks when processing maliciously crafted hostnames in client configuration or known_hosts files, allowing local attackers with limited privileges and user interaction to trigger inefficient regex backtracking that exhausts system resources and causes client-side timeouts. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, with CVSS 2.2 reflecting low severity due to local attack vector and high complexity requirements, though the denial of service impact warrants attention in environments where SSH client availability is critical.
Libssh versions used across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 are vulnerable to a null pointer dereference when processing malformed 'longname' fields in SFTP SSH_FXP_NAME messages, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger denial of service through application crashes. The attack requires user interaction and high attack complexity (CVSS 3.1, CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) but affects a widely deployed SSH library; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
SCP client implementations across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 are vulnerable to path traversal during file transfer, allowing a malicious SCP server to write files outside the designated working directory and potentially execute arbitrary code or modify system configuration. This vulnerability mirrors CVE-2019-6111 in OpenSSH; unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit it with high user interaction (the victim must initiate an SCP connection to a malicious server), resulting in confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at the time of analysis.
A specially crafted XCOFF object file can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read in the GNU Binutils BFD library due to improper validation of relocation type values. This affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, potentially allowing local attackers with user interaction to crash affected tools or disclose sensitive memory contents. While not currently listed in CISA KEV as actively exploited, the vulnerability is tracked across Red Hat, Sourceware, and Bugzilla with upstream references indicating visibility and likely patch development.
High severity vulnerability in systemd. A flaw was found in systemd. The systemd-machined service contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability due to insufficient validation of the class parameter in the RegisterMachine D-Bus (Desktop Bus) method. A local unprivileged user can exploit this by attempting to register a machine with a specific class value, which may leave behind a usable, attacker-controlled machine object. This al...
