CVE-2026-125707 Overview
A flaw was found in GStreamer's MXF demuxer. When an application processes a crafted MXF file, an off-by-one bounds check can allow a one-byte write past the logical end of a temporal offset array. This may corrupt memory and cause the application to crash. The extent of the impact has not been demonstrated by a runtime test.

Frequently asked questions
Related CVEs
A flaw was found in yggdrasil-worker-package-manager. An authenticated attacker can exploit this issue to achieve arbitrary file modification or potential privilege escalation. The vulnerability exists because repository management operations fail to sanitize directory traversal sequences (such as '../') within repository names. By supplying a crafted repository name, an attacker can manipulate the root-level worker process into creating or deleting files outside the intended directory, compromising host system integrity.
A flaw was found in freeradius. An improper length validation in the EAP-FAST module allows a stack-based buffer overflow during session ticket processing. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted handshake request, causing the server process to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
A flaw was found in freeradius's Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM) module. When handling authentication requests, the server copies a client-supplied identity into an internal structure without properly checking its length against a fixed-size buffer. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this issue by sending specially crafted EAP-SIM messages, triggering a stack buffer overflow that crashes the service and results in a Denial of Service (DoS).
A flaw was found in the interaction between systemd-gpt-auto-generator and confidential computing guest VM images in OpenShift Sandboxed Containers (confidential peer pods). systemd-gpt-auto-generator automatically discovers and mounts GPT partitions by type GUID at boot with no user confirmation. In the confidential computing threat model, where the host/hypervisor is the adversary, a malicious host can inject partitions into the guest's virtual disk. Most critically, injecting a swap partition causes the guest kernel to page out TEE-encrypted memory to a host-controlled block device, breaking the confidentiality guarantee of the hardware TEE (AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX). The PodVM images use a GPT-partitioned disk with dm-verity on the root partition. However, the roothash= kernel parameter only disables root auto-discovery — non-root partitions (swap, /home, /var, /srv, /var/tmp) are still auto-discovered and mounted. The generator is shipped unmasked in the RHEL systemd-udev subpackage, and no kernel command line parameter in the measured UKI addon disables it. Additionally, the PodVM measurement script captures PCRs 3, 9, 11, and 12, but not PCR 5 (GPT partition table), so partition table modifications are not detected by remote attestation.
A flaw was found in the Konflux UI proxy. Hostname values defined in the KonfluxUI custom resource are inserted directly into proxy configuration files without adequate validation or sanitization. An authenticated user with permissions to modify the custom resource can inject malicious configuration directives to bypass authentication and authorization controls, potentially exposing internal backend services. In addition, providing malformed input can cause the configuration generator to fail, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) by preventing the proxy from starting.
A flaw was found in Cockpit. A local authenticated user with control over a target account's home directory can exploit a privileged symlink dereference vulnerability in the `ssh-add-public-key.sh` helper. When this helper runs with elevated privileges, it can be tricked into following attacker-controlled symlinks within the `.ssh` or `authorized_keys` paths. This allows the attacker to arbitrarily change file ownership and modes, potentially leading to local privilege escalation and impacting the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the system.
