Summary
Multiple components with known vulnerabilities were addressed in IBM QRadar SIEM 7.5.0 UP14 IF05
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2025-68615
DESCRIPTION: net-snmp is a SNMP application library, tools and daemon. Prior to versions 5.9.5 and 5.10.pre2, a specially crafted packet to an net-snmp snmptrapd daemon can cause a buffer overflow and the daemon to crash. This issue has been patched in versions 5.9.5 and 5.10.pre2.
CWE: CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
CVSS Source: security-advisories@github.com
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2025-13601
DESCRIPTION: A heap-based buffer overflow problem was found in glib through an incorrect calculation of buffer size in the g_escape_uri_string() function. If the string to escape contains a very large number of unacceptable characters (which would need escaping), the calculation of the length of the escaped string could overflow, leading to a potential write off the end of the newly allocated string.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: secalert@redhat.com
CVSS Base score: 7.7
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2025-9230
DESCRIPTION: Issue summary: An application trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using
password based encryption can trigger an out-of-bounds read and write.
Impact summary: This out-of-bounds read may trigger a crash which leads to
Denial of Service for an application. The out-of-bounds write can cause
a memory corruption which can have various consequences including
a Denial of Service or Execution of attacker-supplied code.
Although the consequences of a successful exploit of this vulnerability
could be severe, the probability that the attacker would be able to
perform it is low. Besides, password based (PWRI) encryption support in CMS
messages is very rarely used. For that reason the issue was assessed as
Moderate severity according to our Security Policy.
The FIPS modules in 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this
issue, as the CMS implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module
boundary.

CVEID: CVE-2023-53673
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: call disconnect callback before deleting conn
In hci_cs_disconnect, we do hci_conn_del even if disconnection failed.
ISO, L2CAP and SCO connections refer to the hci_conn without
hci_conn_get, so disconn_cfm must be called so they can clean up their
conn, otherwise use-after-free occurs.

CWE: CWE-416: Use After Free
CVSS Source: NVD
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2025-40154
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: bytcr_rt5640: Fix invalid quirk input mapping
When an invalid value is passed via quirk option, currently
bytcr_rt5640 driver only shows an error message but leaves as is.
This may lead to unepxected results like OOB access.
This patch corrects the input mapping to the certain default value if
an invalid value is passed.

CVEID: CVE-2025-40248
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: Ignore signal/timeout on connect() if already established
During connect(), acting on a signal/timeout by disconnecting an already
established socket leads to several issues:
1. connect() invoking vsock_transport_cancel_pkt() -
virtio_transport_purge_skbs() may race with sendmsg() invoking
virtio_transport_get_credit(). This results in a permanently elevated
`vvs-bytes_unsent`. Which, in turn, confuses the SOCK_LINGER handling.
2. connect() resetting a connected socket's state may race with socket
being placed in a sockmap. A disconnected socket remaining in a sockmap
breaks sockmap's assumptions. And gives rise to WARNs.
3. connect() transitioning SS_CONNECTED - SS_UNCONNECTED allows for a
transport change/drop after TCP_ESTABLISHED. Which poses a problem for
any simultaneous sendmsg() or connect() and may result in a
use-after-free/null-ptr-deref.
Do not disconnect socket on signal/timeout. Keep the logic for unconnected
sockets: they don't linger, can't be placed in a sockmap, are rejected by
sendmsg().

The iMON driver improperly releases the usb_device reference in
imon_disconnect without coordinating with active users of the
device.
Specifically, the fields usbdev_intf0 and usbdev_intf1 are not
protected by the users counter (ictx-users). During probe,
imon_init_intf0 or imon_init_intf1 increments the usb_device
reference count depending on the interface. However, during
disconnect, usb_put_dev is called unconditionally, regardless of
actual usage.
As a result, if vfd_write or other operations are still in
progress after disconnect, this can lead to a use-after-free of
the usb_device pointer.

Guard access to usbdev_intf0 and usbdev_intf1 after disconnect by
checking ictx-disconnected in all writer paths. Add early return
with -ENODEV in send_packet(), vfd_write(), lcd_write() and
display_open() if the device is no longer present.
Set and read ictx-disconnected under ictx-lock to ensure memory
synchronization. Acquire the lock in imon_disconnect() before setting
the flag to synchronize with any ongoing operations.
Ensure writers exit early and safely after disconnect before the USB
core proceeds with cleanup.

DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: avoid NULL dereference when chunk data buffer is missing
chunk-skb pointer is dereferenced in the if-block where it's supposed
to be NULL only.
chunk-skb can only be NULL if chunk-head_skb is not. Check for frag_list
instead and do it just before replacing chunk-skb. We're sure that
otherwise chunk-skb is non-NULL because of outer if() condition.

DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libceph: fix potential use-after-free in have_mon_and_osd_map()
The wait loop in __ceph_open_session() can race with the client
receiving a new monmap or osdmap shortly after the initial map is
received. Both ceph_monc_handle_map() and handle_one_map() install
a new map immediately after freeing the old one
kfree(monc-monmap);
monc-monmap = monmap;
ceph_osdmap_destroy(osdc-osdmap);
osdc-osdmap = newmap;
under client-monc.mutex and client-osdc.lock respectively, but
because neither is taken in have_mon_and_osd_map() it's possible for
client-monc.monmap-epoch and client-osdc.osdmap-epoch arms in
client-monc.monmap && client-monc.monmap-epoch &&
client-osdc.osdmap && client-osdc.osdmap-epoch;
condition to dereference an already freed map. This happens to be
reproducible with generic/395 and generic/397 with KASAN enabled:

Rewrite the wait loop to check the above condition directly with
client-monc.mutex and client-osdc.lock taken as appropriate. While
at it, improve the timeout handling (previously mount_timeout could be
exceeded in case wait_event_interruptible_timeout() slept more than
once) and access client-auth_err under client-monc.mutex to match
how it's set in finish_auth().
monmap_show() and osdmap_show() now take the respective lock before
accessing the map as well.
