Red Hat Security Advisory: gpsd-minimal security update
gpsd is a service daemon that mediates access to a GPS sensor connected to the host computer by serial or USB interface, making its data on the location/course/velocity of the sensor available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer. The Red Hat support for this package is limited. See https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/gpsd-support for more details. Security Fix(es): * gpsd: gpsd: Denial of Service due to malformed NAVCOM packet parsing (CVE-2025-67269) * gpsd: gpsd: Arbitrary code execution via heap-based out-of-bounds write in NMEA2000 packet handling (CVE-2025-67268) 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
The gpsd-minimal package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 contains two security vulnerabilities. CVE-2025-67269 allows denial of service through malformed NAVCOM packet parsing. CVE-2025-67268 enables arbitrary code execution via a heap-based out-of-bounds write triggered by NMEA2000 packet handling. Red Hat has released updated gpsd-minimal packages (version 3.26.1-1.el9_7.1) to fix these issues. The vulnerabilities impact the gpsd daemon that mediates GPS sensor data access on TCP port 2947. The advisory covers multiple architectures including x86_64, s390x, ppc64le, and aarch64.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-67269 can cause a denial of service of the gpsd service, potentially disrupting applications relying on GPS data. CVE-2025-67268 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host system via a heap-based out-of-bounds write, which could lead to full system compromise if exploited. These vulnerabilities affect systems running vulnerable versions of gpsd-minimal on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related variants.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated gpsd-minimal packages (version 3.26.1-1.el9_7.1) that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply these official updates promptly to remediate the issues. Detailed update instructions are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigations are specified by the vendor.
