Red Hat Security Advisory: capstone security update
Capstone is a disassembly framework with the target of becoming the ultimate disasm engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community. Security Fix(es): * capstone: Capstone: Memory corruption via unchecked vsnprintf return (CVE-2025-68114) * capstone: Capstone: Heap buffer overflow via skipdata callback allows denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2025-67873) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Capstone, a disassembly framework for binary analysis, contains two vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-68114, a memory corruption issue due to unchecked vsnprintf return, and CVE-2025-67873, a heap buffer overflow via the skipdata callback that may allow denial of service or arbitrary code execution. These vulnerabilities affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support and associated CodeReady Linux Builder packages across multiple architectures (x86_64, s390x, ppc64le, aarch64). Red Hat has released updated packages (capstone-5.0.1-7.el10_0) to fix these issues. The advisory rates the impact as moderate and provides detailed package updates for remediation.
Potential Impact
The memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2025-68114) and the heap buffer overflow (CVE-2025-67873) in Capstone can lead to denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution. This poses a risk to systems using the affected Capstone versions, particularly in environments relying on binary analysis and reverse engineering tools. The vulnerabilities affect multiple hardware architectures supported by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support and related CodeReady Linux Builder packages.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated Capstone packages (version 5.0.1-7.el10_0) that address these vulnerabilities. Users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support and associated CodeReady Linux Builder packages should apply these updates promptly. Detailed instructions for applying the update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No indication of alternative mitigations or 'no action required' statements are present; therefore, applying the official patch is the recommended remediation.
