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. These include a signed integer overflow (CVE-2024-23337) and a stack-buffer-overflow detected by AddressSanitizer (CVE-2025-48060). The issues affect multiple architectures and variants of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related CodeReady Linux Builder packages. Red Hat has released an update to address these vulnerabilities, rated with moderate security impact. Users should apply the available update to remediate these issues.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The jq utility in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 contains two security flaws: a signed integer overflow in the function jvp_array_write (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 or other unintended behavior when processing JSON data. Red Hat has issued a security advisory (RHSA-2025:10585) providing updated packages to fix these issues. The affected versions include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and its variants across multiple architectures including x86_64, s390x, ppc64le, and aarch64.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities involve memory safety issues (integer overflow and stack-buffer-overflow) that could be exploited to cause crashes or potentially execute arbitrary code when processing specially crafted JSON input with jq. The security impact is rated as moderate by Red Hat. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated jq packages to fix these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update as described in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:10585 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official update.
