Red Hat Security Advisory: capstone security update
Two security vulnerabilities have been identified in the Capstone disassembly framework used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support and related products. The first vulnerability (CVE-2025-68114) involves memory corruption due to an unchecked vsnprintf return. The second vulnerability (CVE-2025-67873) is a heap buffer overflow triggered via the skipdata callback, which can lead to denial of service or arbitrary code execution. Red Hat has issued a security update addressing these issues in Capstone version 4.0.2-11.el9_4. The update is rated as having moderate security impact. Users of affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support and related CodeReady Linux Builder versions should apply the update to remediate these vulnerabilities.
