Python Packaging Authority pip; Red Hat Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8; Red Hat Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 9; Red Hat… Published: 2026-06-01 18:01 (5 months ago)

Description

pip would treat console_scripts and gui_scripts as paths instead of file names without sanitizing the resolved absolute path to the installation directory, leading to entry points being installed outside the installation directory.

Dbus: server accept watch can be stalled by blocking nonce-tcp accept_with_noncefile path

Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10

A flaw was found in dbus when configured with the nonce-tcp transport. An unauthenticated attacker able to connect to an exposed listener can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by opening a connection and withholding the expected authentication token. Because th…

Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

A flaw was found in abrt. abrt-server trusts a client-supplied PID when creating problem dumps over abrt.socket and, running as root, copies that process's /proc data (including environ) into a dump directory owned by the connecting unprivileged user. This al…

A flaw was found in abrt. The completeness check introduced to mitigate CVE-2026-54228 and CVE-2026-54229 only verifies that a dump directory contains a "count" element, which an unprivileged user can create. This allows a local attacker to bypass the guard a…
