Description

Two security vulnerabilities have been identified in jq, a command-line JSON processor used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 AUS. The first is a signed integer overflow in the jvp_array_write function (CVE-2024-23337), and the second is a stack-buffer-overflow detected by AddressSanitizer in jq_fuzz_execute (CVE-2025-48060). Red Hat has issued a security advisory rating these issues as moderate impact and has released updated packages to address them.

Technical Analysis

The jq utility in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 AUS contains two vulnerabilities: a signed integer overflow in the 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 issues. Red Hat has published a security advisory (RHSA-2025:10622) describing these issues and providing updated jq packages to remediate them.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities involve memory corruption risks due to integer overflow and stack buffer overflow in jq. While the advisory rates the impact as moderate, no known exploits in the wild have been reported. The issues could affect the stability or security of systems processing JSON data with jq if exploited.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released updated jq packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 AUS to address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:10622 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigation steps are specified or required beyond applying the official update.
