Technical Summary
This advisory covers two security flaws in jq, a lightweight JSON processor used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 AUS. The first vulnerability (CVE-2024-23337) is a signed integer overflow in the function jvp_array_write within jv.c. The second (CVE-2025-48060) is a stack-buffer-overflow detected by AddressSanitizer in the jq_fuzz_execute function (jv_string_vfmt). Both vulnerabilities could potentially lead to memory corruption. The advisory does not provide CVSS scores but rates the impact as moderate. Red Hat has released updated packages to fix these issues.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities involve memory corruption issues (integer overflow and stack-buffer-overflow) in jq, which could lead to undefined behavior or potential exploitation. The advisory rates the security impact as moderate. There are no known exploits in the wild reported at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated jq packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 AUS that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:10621 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258.
