Red Hat Security Advisory: jq security update
Two security vulnerabilities have been identified in the jq JSON processor used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. 0 Update Services for SAP Solutions. 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 (RHSA-2025:10616) rating the impact as moderate and has released updated packages to address these issues. These vulnerabilities affect multiple architectures including x86_64, ppc64le, aarch64, and s390x. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. Users are advised to apply the provided updates to remediate these vulnerabilities.
