Vulnerabilities in this advisory
- CVE-2025-40760 — CVE-2025-40760 · CWE-209
Affected products do not properly handle error messages and discloses sensitive password hash information when processing user authentication requests. This could allow a local attacker to extract password hashes for privileged accounts, which can then be subjected to offline brute-force attacks.
- CVE-2025-40763 — CVE-2025-40763 · CWE-427
Affected products do not properly validate environment variables when loading shared libraries, allowing path hijacking through malicious library substitution. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges by manipulating the environment variable and placing a malicious library in the controlled path.
