Red Hat Security Advisory: jq security update
Two security vulnerabilities have been identified in jq, a command-line JSON processor included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. 4. 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 severity and has released updated packages to address them. No known exploits are reported in the wild. Users of affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions should apply the provided updates to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
jq, a lightweight JSON processor used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4, contains two vulnerabilities: a signed integer overflow in jv.c:jvp_array_write (CVE-2024-23337) and a stack-buffer-overflow in jq_fuzz_execute (CVE-2025-48060). These flaws could potentially lead to memory corruption or other unintended behavior. Red Hat has released updated jq packages to fix these issues as detailed in advisory RHSA-2025:10621. The vulnerabilities are rated moderate in impact by Red Hat Product Security. No CVSS scores are provided in the advisory, and no known exploits exist in the wild.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to cause memory corruption through integer overflow or buffer overflow conditions when processing JSON data with jq. This may lead to application crashes or potentially other unintended behavior depending on exploitation. However, Red Hat rates the overall security impact as moderate. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated jq packages for affected versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply these official updates as described in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:10621 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigation steps are indicated or required beyond applying the vendor-provided patches.
