Libsolv: heap buffer overflow in libsolv repopagestore via unchecked decompression of malicious .solv page data

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • 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: 0.26% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: libsolv (AlmaLinux:10) 0.7.33-5.el10_2.alma.1; libsolv-devel (AlmaLinux:10) 0.7.33-5.el10_2.alma.1; libsolv-tools (AlmaLinux:10) 0.7.33-5.el10_2.alma.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to libsolv (AlmaLinux:10) 0.7.33-5.el10_2.alma.1; libsolv-devel (AlmaLinux:10) 0.7.33-5.el10_2.alma.1; libsolv-tools (AlmaLinux:10) 0.7.33-5.el10_2.alma.1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A flaw was found in libsolv. This heap buffer overflow occurs during the decompression of attacker-controlled compressed data within `.solv` files due to insufficient input validation. An attacker can provide a specially crafted `.solv` file, which, when processed by a vulnerable application, can lead to out-of-bounds memory access. This could result in information disclosure, alteration of program execution, or a denial of service.
