Technical Summary
The jq utility in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 contains two security flaws: a signed integer overflow in the jv.c:jvp_array_write function (CVE-2024-23337) and a stack-buffer-overflow in jq_fuzz_execute (jv_string_vfmt) detected by AddressSanitizer (CVE-2025-48060). These vulnerabilities could potentially lead to memory corruption or crashes. Red Hat has released updated jq packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 that address these issues. The advisory references Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2025:10619 for details and remediation instructions.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to cause memory corruption or application crashes when processing specially crafted JSON data with jq. This may lead to denial of service or potentially other undefined behavior depending on exploitation. Red Hat rates the impact as moderate. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated jq packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 that fix these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update as described in Red Hat Advisory RHSA-2025:10619.
