A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade the Red Hat redhat/glib package to 10.2 or 9.8.

AI-suggested

A fix is available in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform version 4.17.49. All users running versions >=4.17.0 and <4.17.49 are strongly advised to upgrade to 4.17.49 using the OpenShift CLI (oc) or web console. Detailed upgrade instructions are provided by Red Hat in their official documentation. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying this update.

Description

This update for glib2 fixes the following issues: Update to version 2.84.4. Security issues fixed: - CVE-2025-14512: integer overflow in the GIO `escape_byte_string()` function when processing malicious files or remote filesystem attribute values can lead to denial-of-service (bsc#1254878). - CVE-2025-14087: buffer underflow in the GVariant parser `bytestring_parse()` and `string_parse()` functions when processing attacker-influenced data may lead to crash or code execution (bsc#1254662). - CVE-2025-13601: heap-based buffer overflow in the `g_escape_uri_string()` function when processing strings with a large number of unacceptable characters may lead to crash or code execution (bsc#1254297). - CVE-2025-7039: integer overflow when creating temporary files may lead to an out-of-bounds memory access that can be used for path traversal or exposure of sensitive content in a temporary file (bsc#1249055). Other issues fixed and changes: - Fix GFile leak in `g_local_file_set_display_name` during error handling. - Fix incorrect output parameter handling in closure helper of `g_settings_bind_with_mapping_closures`. - `gfileutils`: fix computation of temporary file name. - Fix GFile leak in `g_local_file_set_display_name()`. - `gthreadpool`: catch `pool_spawner` creation failure. - `gio/filenamecompleter`: fix leaks. - `gfilenamecompleter`: fix `g_object_unref()` of undefined value.

Impact

The vulnerabilities fixed in this update could allow remote code execution or denial of service (OpenSSL), out-of-bounds memory reads (libpng), and integer overflow issues (glib), which may lead to application crashes or potential exploitation. The severity is rated as high by Red Hat Product Security. No active exploitation has been reported. The impact affects users running OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 prior to 4.17.49.

Summary

This advisory covers security updates in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17.49 that fix three vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-15467 in OpenSSL allows remote code execution or denial of service via an oversized Initialization Vector in CMS parsing; CVE-2025-66293 in libpng causes an out-of-bounds read in png_image_read_composite; and CVE-2025-13601 in glib involves an integer overflow in g_escape_uri_string(). These issues are rated as having important security impact. The update addresses these vulnerabilities by providing patched container images and RPM packages. Users running OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 versions earlier than 4.17.49 should upgrade to the fixed release to apply these security fixes.

CWE-190Integer Overflow or Wraparound (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: Medium
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
Requirements
Ensure that all protocols are strictly defined, such that all out-of-bounds behavior can be identified simply, and require strict conformance to the protocol.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.

CWE-120Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #11
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…

The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design · Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
