Overview CVE-2025-65407 describes a use-after-free vulnerability found in the Live555 Streaming Media library, specifically version 2018.09.02. This flaw exists within the MPEG1or2Demux::newElementaryStream() function. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by providing a specially crafted MPEG Program stream. Technical Details The use-after-free vulnerability occurs when the MPEG1or2Demux::newElementaryStream() function attempts to access memory that has already been freed. This typically happens due to incorrect memory management within the demultiplexing process. A malicious actor can craft an MPEG Program stream that triggers the premature freeing of memory used by newElementaryStream(). Subsequent attempts to access…

Overview This article provides a detailed analysis of a critical security vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-63365, affecting SoftSea EPUB File Reader version 1.0.0.0. This vulnerability allows for directory traversal, potentially enabling unauthorized access to sensitive files on the system where the EPUB reader is installed. Understanding the technical details, potential impact, and mitigation steps is crucial for protecting your systems. Technical Details The vulnerability lies within the EPUB file processing component of SoftSea EPUB File Reader. Specifically, it stems from inadequate validation of file paths during the extraction of contents from EPUB archives. An attacker can craft a malicious EPUB file…

Overview CVE-2025-34297 describes an integer overflow vulnerability found in KissFFT versions prior to commit 1b083165. This flaw affects 32-bit architectures and can lead to a heap buffer overflow. The vulnerability lies within the kiss_fft_alloc() function in kiss_fft.c. Technical Details The root cause of this vulnerability is the lack of proper validation of the nfft parameter within the kiss_fft_alloc() function. On 32-bit platforms, where size_t is 32-bit, the calculation sizeof(kiss_fft_cpx) * (nfft - 1) can result in an integer overflow when nfft is a large value. This overflow wraps the calculated size to a small value. Subsequently, malloc() allocates an undersized…

Overview CVE-2025-11772 is a medium severity vulnerability affecting Synaptics fingerprint drivers. It allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This is achieved by placing a specially crafted Dynamic Link Library (DLL) in the C:\ProgramData\Synaptics folder. During driver installation, this malicious DLL can be loaded, granting the attacker SYSTEM-level access. Technical Details The vulnerability stems from a lack of proper validation and security checks during the driver installation process. The Synaptics driver installer incorrectly trusts the DLL files present in the C:\ProgramData\Synaptics folder. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious DLL designed to execute arbitrary…

Overview CVE-2025-13837 describes a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability affecting Python’s plistlib module. This vulnerability arises during the parsing of plist (Property List) files. A maliciously crafted plist file can exploit the way plistlib reads data, potentially leading to excessive memory consumption and ultimately crashing the application. This is triggered when the size of data to be read is determined by the value within the potentially malicious file. Technical Details The vulnerability lies in how the plistlib module handles the size of data specified within the plist file itself. When loading a plist, the module reads data according to the size indicated…

Overview CVE-2025-13836 describes a vulnerability affecting HTTP clients where a malicious server can trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) attack by exploiting the way the client handles the Content-Length header. Specifically, if the client doesn’t specify a read amount when receiving an HTTP response, it defaults to using the value provided in the Content-Length header. A malicious server can send a very large Content-Length, forcing the client to allocate a large amount of memory, potentially leading to memory exhaustion (OOM) and a DoS condition. Technical Details The core of the vulnerability lies in the client’s reliance on the Content-Length header without proper…

Overview A critical security vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-13835, has been discovered in the Arconix Shortcodes WordPress plugin. This vulnerability allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, potentially compromising your website and its users. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the vulnerability, its potential impact, and the steps you need to take to mitigate the risk. This issue affects Arconix Shortcodes versions up to and including 2.1.19. Technical Details CVE-2025-13835 is a Stored XSS vulnerability. This means that malicious JavaScript code can be injected into the WordPress database, typically through a vulnerable input field within the Arconix Shortcodes plugin. When…

Overview CVE-2025-13653 is a medium severity vulnerability affecting Search Guard FLX versions 3.1.0 up to 4.0.0. This vulnerability allows authenticated users to read documents from data streams without the necessary privileges when enterprise modules are disabled. This could lead to sensitive data exposure. Technical Details The vulnerability stems from improper authorization checks when enterprise modules are disabled in Search Guard FLX. Specifically, specially crafted requests can bypass the intended access controls for data streams, allowing an authenticated user with insufficient permissions to retrieve data they should not have access to. The exact nature of the “specially crafted requests” are detailed…

Overview CVE-2025-7007 describes a high-severity NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability affecting Avast Antivirus on MacOS and Avast Antivirus on Linux. Specifically, versions 16.0.0 of Avast Antivirus and 3.0.3 of Avast Antivirus are susceptible. The vulnerability is triggered when the antivirus software scans a malformed Windows Portable Executable (PE) file. This leads to a crash of the antivirus process, potentially disrupting system security. Technical Details The vulnerability lies within the PE file parsing logic of Avast Antivirus. When encountering a malformed PE file, a NULL pointer dereference occurs, resulting in a crash. A NULL pointer dereference happens when the application attempts to…

Overview CVE-2025-65408 describes a critical vulnerability in Live555 Streaming Media version 2018.09.02. This vulnerability, a NULL pointer dereference, exists within the `ADTSAudioFileServerMediaSubsession::createNewRTPSink()` function. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a specially crafted ADTS file to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This means that affected Live555 implementations can become unresponsive or crash when processing a malicious ADTS file, disrupting streaming services. Technical Details The vulnerability stems from improper handling of specific ADTS file structures within the `ADTSAudioFileServerMediaSubsession::createNewRTPSink()` function. When parsing the ADTS file, the code fails to adequately validate certain parameters, potentially leading to a NULL pointer…
