Technical Summary
jq, a command-line JSON processor included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support and related distributions, contains two vulnerabilities: a signed integer overflow in the jvp_array_write function (CVE-2024-23337) and a stack-buffer-overflow detected by AddressSanitizer in jq_fuzz_execute (CVE-2025-48060). These issues could potentially lead to memory corruption. Red Hat Product Security has released updated jq packages to fix these vulnerabilities as detailed in advisory RHSA-2025:10613. The advisory rates the security impact as moderate and provides updated packages for multiple architectures and variants of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 EUS.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities involve memory corruption issues (integer overflow and stack-buffer-overflow) in jq that could potentially be exploited to cause unexpected behavior or crashes. However, Red Hat rates the impact as moderate and there are no known exploits in the wild. The issues affect jq versions shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support and related products. The impact is limited to affected jq versions prior to the update.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated jq packages that address these vulnerabilities. Users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support and related products should apply the security update as described in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:10613 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258.
