CVE-2025-58058: github.com/ulikunitz/xz leaks memory when decoding a corrupted multiple LZMA archives
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.43% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: ulikunitz xz 0.5.14; azl3 containerized-data-importer 1.57.0-15 on Azure Linux 3.0 1.57.0-16; azl3 containerized-data-importer 1.57.0-16 on Azure Linux 3.0 1.57.0-16.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to ulikunitz xz 0.5.14; azl3 containerized-data-importer 1.57.0-15 on Azure Linux 3.0 1.57.0-16; azl3 containerized-data-importer 1.57.0-16 on Azure Linux 3.0 1.57.0-16 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
xz is a pure golang package for reading and writing xz-compressed files. Prior to version 0.5.14, it is possible to put data in front of an LZMA-encoded byte stream without detecting the situation while reading the header. This can lead to increased memory consumption because the current implementation allocates the full decoding buffer directly after reading the header. The LZMA header doesn't include a magic number or has a checksum to detect such an issue according to the specification. Note that the code recognizes the issue later while reading the stream, but at this time the memory allocation has already been done. This issue has been patched in version 0.5.14.
