Medium [CVE-2025-0604] authentication bypass due to missing ldap bind after password reset in keycloak

A flaw was found in Keycloak. When an Active Directory user resets their password, the system updates it without performing an LDAP bind to validate the new credentials against AD. This vulnerability allows users whose AD accounts are expired or disabled to regain access in Keycloak, bypassing AD restrictions. The issue enables authentication bypass and could allow unauthorized access under certain conditions. Moderate impact affects Red Hat Build of Keycloak (RHBK) and Red Hat Single Sign-On (RH-SSO) in the keycloak-ldap-federation component. An expired or disabled AD account can therefore regain access to Keycloak, resulting in authentication bypass with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact (CVSS 5.4, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N). For RHBK, the issue is delegated and a fix is being pursued. RH-SSO is affected but is marked WONTFIX, so the current record indicates that no fix is planned for that product. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N). Weakness: CWE-287. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Single Sign-On 7. Red Hat fixing advisory: RHSA-2025:2545, RHSA-2025:2544. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat build of Keycloak 26.0.

Critical [CVE-2024-12084] Rsync: heap buffer overflow in rsync due to improper checksum length handling

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths (s2length) in the code. When MAX_DIGEST_LEN exceeds the fixed SUM_LENGTH (16 bytes), an attacker can write out of bounds in the sum2 buffer. This vulnerability only affects a limited range of Rsync versions, rsync-3.2.7 and rsync-3.3.0. Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not ship these versions of Rsync and is not affected. Red Hat considers the severity of this vulnerability to be Critical only in cases where anonymous read access is allowed. Depending on the configuration and implementation choices, the severity may be significantly reduced for your organization. There are two different methods for utilizing Rsync from a remote system: contacting an Rsync daemon directly with TCP or using a remote-shell program as the transport (such as ssh or rsh). The risk of this vulnerability changes depending on which connection method is used. The default configuration of an Rsync daemon (rsyncd) running as a service does not require authentication. While rsyncd can be configured to require users to provide valid credentials, anonymous read access is a common configuration used by file sharing and mirroring hosts. The capabilities of the rsyncd process may vary depending on the user configured to run the Rsync daemon.

Medium [CVE-2024-11029] Freeipa: administrative user data leaked through systemd journal

A flaw was found in the FreeIPA API audit, where it sends the whole FreeIPA command line to journalctl. As a consequence, during the FreeIPA installation process, it inadvertently leaks the administrative user credentials, including the administrator password, to the journal database. In the worst-case scenario, where the journal log is centralized, users with access to it can have improper access to the FreeIPA administrator credentials. This vulnerability doesn't affect FreeIPA (IPA) versions as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions before Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.5 as it doesn't have the API audit implemented. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-497. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

High [CVE-2024-12085] info leak via uninitialized stack contents

A flaw was found in rsync which could be triggered when rsync compares file checksums. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the checksum length (s2length) to cause a comparison between a checksum and uninitialized memory and leak one byte of uninitialized stack data at a time. This vulnerability is rated as having Important impact as it helps bypass Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). ASLR is a memory protection system which makes the exploitation of memory corruption vulnerabilities more difficult. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-908.

Medium [CVE-2024-12087] Rsync: path traversal vulnerability in rsync

A path traversal vulnerability exists in rsync. It stems from behavior enabled by the `--inc-recursive` option, a default-enabled option for many client options and can be enabled by the server even if not explicitly enabled by the client. When using the `--inc-recursive` option, a lack of proper symlink verification coupled with deduplication checks occurring on a per-file-list basis could allow a server to write files outside of the client's intended destination directory. A malicious server could write malicious files to arbitrary locations named after valid directories/paths on the client. Red Hat rates this flaw to have moderate severity as it depends on specific configurations for the attack to succeed, symbolic link syncing must be enabled (explicitly by providing the `--links` option or implicitly such as with `--archive`) and the client must connect to a malicious or compromised server. Weakness: CWE-22. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Lifecycle Support - EXTENSION; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 Advanced Update Support; and 13 more.

Medium [CVE-2024-12747] Rsync: race condition in rsync handling symbolic links

A flaw was found in rsync. This vulnerability arises from a race condition during rsync's handling of symbolic links. Rsync's default behavior when encountering symbolic links is to skip them. If an attacker replaced a regular file with a symbolic link at the right time, it was possible to bypass the default behavior and traverse symbolic links. Depending on the privileges of the rsync process, an attacker could leak sensitive information, potentially leading to privilege escalation. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-362.

Medium [CVE-2024-12088] Rsync: --safe-links option bypass leads to path traversal

A flaw was found in rsync. When using the `--safe-links` option, the rsync client fails to properly verify if a symbolic link destination sent from the server contains another symbolic link within it. This results in a path traversal vulnerability, which may lead to arbitrary file write outside the desired directory. The vulnerability requires user interaction to be triggered, as the rsync client must first establish a connection/have access to the malicious rsync server (at least anonymous read-access). Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N). Weakness: CWE-22. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat Discovery 1.14; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.

Medium [CVE-2024-12086] Rsync: rsync server leaks arbitrary client files

A flaw was found in rsync. It could allow a server to enumerate the contents of an arbitrary file from the client's machine. This issue occurs when files are being copied from a client to a server. During this process, the rsync server will send checksums of local data to the client to compare with in order to determine what data needs to be sent to the server. By sending specially constructed checksum values for arbitrary files, an attacker may be able to reconstruct the data of those files byte-by-byte based on the responses from the client. This vulnerability marked as moderate rather than important because it requires the attacker to control the rsync server, which limits the scope of exploitation to scenarios where the client interacts with untrusted or compromised servers. Additionally, the attack is non-trivial, as it relies on the attacker sending specially crafted checksum values and deducing file contents byte-by-byte based on the client’s responses. This makes the exploit more complex and time-consuming compared to direct file access vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the impact is limited to file data enumeration, and it does not allow arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation on the client. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-390.

Medium [CVE-2024-11736] Org.keycloak:keycloak-quarkus-server: unrestricted admin use of system and environment variables

A vulnerability was found in Keycloak. Admin users may have to access sensitive server environment variables and system properties through user-configurable URLs. When configuring backchannel logout URLs or admin URLs, admin users can include placeholders like ${env.VARNAME} or ${PROPNAME}. The server replaces these placeholders with the actual values of environment variables or system properties during URL processing. Red Hat has evaluated this vulnerability and it only affects Keycloak. This should not affect any connector or adapter. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 4.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-526.

A denial of service vulnerability was found in Keycloak that could allow an administrative user with the right to change realm settings to disrupt the service. This action is done by modifying any of the security headers and inserting newlines, which causes the Keycloak server to write to a request that has already been terminated, leading to the failure of said request. Red Hat has evaluated this vulnerability and its impact is restricted to Keycloak. No Keycloak connectors/adapters are affected.

High [CVE-2024-45497] build process in openshift allows overwriting of node pull credentials

A flaw was found in the OpenShift build process, where the docker-build container is configured with a hostPath volume mount that maps the node's /var/lib/kubelet/config.json file into the build pod. This file contains sensitive credentials necessary for pulling images from private repositories. The mount is not read-only, which allows the attacker to overwrite it. By modifying the config.json file, the attacker can cause a denial of service by preventing the node from pulling new images and potentially exfiltrating sensitive secrets. This flaw impacts the availability of services dependent on image pulls and exposes sensitive information to unauthorized parties. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7.6 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H). Weakness: CWE-732.

High [CVE-2024-8676] Cri-o: checkpoint restore can be triggered from different namespaces

A vulnerability was found in CRI-O, where it can be requested to take a checkpoint archive of a container and later be asked to restore it. When it does that restoration, it attempts to restore the mounts from the restore archive instead of the pod request. As a result, the validations run on the pod spec, verifying that the pod has access to the mounts it specifies are not applicable to a restored container. This flaw allows a malicious user to trick CRI-O into restoring a pod that doesn't have access to host mounts. The user needs access to the kubelet or cri-o socket to call the restore endpoint and trigger the restore. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

High [CVE-2024-52336] Tuned: `script_pre` and `script_post` options allow to pass arbitrary scripts executed by root

A script injection vulnerability was identified in the Tuned package. The `instance_create()` D-Bus function can be called by locally logged-in users without authentication. This flaw allows a local non-privileged user to execute a D-Bus call with `script_pre` or `script_post` options that permit arbitrary scripts with their absolute paths to be passed. These user or attacker-controlled executable scripts or programs could then be executed by Tuned with root privileges that could allow attackers to local privilege escalation. The `instance_create()` D-Bus method has been added via upstream commit cddcd233 and was first part of version tag v2.23.0. Hence, versions of Tuned before 2.23.0 are unaffected. Also, note that the initial versions already contained support for the script option parameters and the `instance_name` parameter.

Medium [CVE-2024-52337] Tuned: improper sanitization of `instance_name` parameter of the `instance_create ` method

A log spoofing flaw was found in the Tuned package due to improper sanitization of some API arguments. This flaw allows an attacker to pass a controlled sequence of characters; newlines can be inserted into the log. Instead of the 'evil' the attacker could mimic a valid TuneD log line and trick the administrator. The quotes '' are usually used in TuneD logs citing raw user input, so there will always be the ' character ending the spoofed input, and the administrator can easily overlook this. This logged string is later used in logging and in the output of utilities, for example, `tuned-adm get_instances` or other third-party programs that use Tuned's D-Bus interface for such operations. This vulnerability is classified as moderate severity instead of important because it primarily affects the integrity of logging rather than directly compromising system confidentiality, availability, or functionality. While an attacker can manipulate log entries to mislead administrators or obfuscate their actions, the impact is limited to the interpretation of logs and does not inherently grant the attacker elevated privileges or direct control over the system. Additionally, the spoofing relies on administrators overlooking inconsistencies, making the success of exploitation context-dependent and less universally impactful.
