RHSA-2026:26528
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-06-25 08:39 - Updated: 2026-06-26 06:46A flaw was found in OpenSSH. When the `scp` command is used by a root user to download a file with the legacy protocol option (`-O`) and without preserving original file permissions (`-p`), the downloaded file can be installed with elevated privileges (setuid or setgid). This unexpected behavior could allow a malicious file to execute with higher permissions than intended, posing a security risk through potential privilege escalation.

A flaw was found in jq, a command line JSON processor, specifically in the libjq API. Parsing a malformed JSON input from a non-NUL-terminated buffer using the `jv_parse_sized` function can cause an out-of-bounds read, resulting in an application crash and a possible memory disclosure within the error message generated by the parser.

Workaround
|
A flaw was found in jq, a command-line JSON processor. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted JSON object. This object leverages a weakness in jq's hashing algorithm, which uses a hardcoded, publicly known seed. By crafting the JSON object to cause hash collisions, an attacker can degrade the performance of JSON object hash table operations, leading to significant CPU exhaustion and a denial of service (DoS) for systems processing the malicious JSON data.

Workaround

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 tunnel implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by sending malicious ICMPv6 error messages to cause a stack-based buffer overflow in the kernel's IPv4-over-IPv6 tunnel error handling code. This could result in a kernel crash (denial of service) or potentially allow arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges.
