CVE-2025-68160

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds write in the line-buffering BIO filter, which can lead to memory corruption. While exploitation is unlikely to be under direct attacker control, a successful attack could cause an application to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

This vulnerability is rated Low for Red Hat. The BIO_f_linebuffer filter, where this heap out-of-bounds write occurs, is not used by default in TLS/SSL data paths within Red Hat products. Exploitation requires third-party applications to explicitly use this filter with a BIO chain that can short-write and process large, newline-free data influenced by an attacker, which is an unlikely scenario under attacker control. Red Hat FIPS modules are not affected by this issue.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
