Red Hat Security Advisory: jq security update
Two security vulnerabilities have been identified in jq, a command-line JSON processor used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. 8 and related distributions. The first vulnerability (CVE-2024-23337) is a signed integer overflow in the jvp_array_write function. The second (CVE-2025-48060) is a stack-buffer-overflow detected by AddressSanitizer in jq_fuzz_execute. Both issues have been addressed in updated jq packages provided by Red Hat. The security impact is rated as moderate by Red Hat Product Security. Users of affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions should apply the available updates to remediate these vulnerabilities.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
jq is a lightweight JSON processor used for manipulating JSON data via command-line. Two vulnerabilities were found: CVE-2024-23337 involves a signed integer overflow in the jvp_array_write function within jv.c, and CVE-2025-48060 is a stack-buffer-overflow detected by AddressSanitizer in the jq_fuzz_execute function (jv_string_vfmt). These vulnerabilities could potentially lead to memory corruption issues. Red Hat has released updated jq packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 and related update services to fix these issues. The advisory RHSA-2025:10619 provides details and instructions for applying the update.
