Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs bug fix and enhancement update

Severity

Important

Scope

16 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2026-8925.

CVE-2026-8925

A flaw was found in curl. The logic handling SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) authentication could lead to a double-free vulnerability. This occurs because the GSASL context may be deallocated twice without clearing the pointer, potentially leading to memory corruption. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.
