Description

Two security vulnerabilities have been identified in the python-kdcproxy component of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. These include an unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via realm-controlled DNS SRV records (CVE-2025-59088) and a remote denial of service (DoS) caused by unbounded TCP upstream buffering (CVE-2025-59089). Red Hat has issued an important security update addressing these issues. The update is available for multiple architectures and variants of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Users are advised to apply the update as detailed in the Red Hat advisory.

Technical Analysis

The python-kdcproxy package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 contains two vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-59088, an unauthenticated SSRF vulnerability via realm-controlled DNS SRV records, and CVE-2025-59089, a remote denial of service vulnerability due to unbounded TCP upstream buffering. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to cause unintended network requests or disrupt service availability. Red Hat has released updated python-kdcproxy packages to remediate these issues. The advisory covers multiple architectures including x86_64, s390x, ppc64le, and aarch64. Detailed patch instructions are provided in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:21139.

Potential Impact

The SSRF vulnerability (CVE-2025-59088) allows unauthenticated attackers to induce the server to make arbitrary network requests, potentially leading to information disclosure or interaction with internal services. The remote DoS vulnerability (CVE-2025-59089) can cause service disruption by exhausting resources through unbounded TCP buffering. Both vulnerabilities impact the availability and security of systems running python-kdcproxy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released an official security update for python-kdcproxy in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 addressing these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:21139 and the related article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. This update is available for all supported architectures and variants of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Applying this update mitigates the SSRF and DoS vulnerabilities.
