It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2025-68973 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-68973 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in GnuPG, published on 28 Dec 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-68973 exists.\n\nAffected product: GnuPG. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68973/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68973","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2025-68973","ALSA-2026:0697","ALSA-2026:0719","ALSA-2026:0728","AZL-73204","AZL-73367","BELL-CVE-2025-68973","CLSA-2026-1768989383","CLSA-2026-1769015071","CLSA-2026-1769018042","CLSA-2026-1769085200","CLSA-2026-1769162862","CLSA-2026-1769163161","CLSA-2026-1769163825","CLSA-2026-1769171615","CLSA-2026-1769182340","CLSA-2026-1769182554","CLSA-2026-1769426059","CLSA-2026-1769433341","CLSA-2026-1769524269","CLSA-2026-1769679566","CLSA-2026-1770982328","CLSA-2026-1786038406","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68973","DLA-4437-1","ECHO-28ba-d9bf-3b84","GHSA-pj23-86ww-f72p","JLSEC-2026-563","MINI-jj25-4j8g-8w2m","OESA-2026-1072","RHSA-2026:0697","RHSA-2026:0719","RHSA-2026:0728","RHSA-2026:0935","RHSA-2026:0974","RHSA-2026:1014","RHSA-2026:1229","RHSA-2026:1230","RHSA-2026:1468","RHSA-2026:1629","RHSA-2026:1677","RHSA-2026:1705","RHSA-2026:1719","RLSA-2026:0697","RLSA-2026:0719","RLSA-2026:0728","ROOT-OS-ALPINE-319-CVE-2025-68973","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2004-CVE-2025-68973","SUSE-SU-2026:0214-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0215-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0378-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20080-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20108-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20243-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20356-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-68973","openSUSE-SU-2026:10001-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:20029-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GnuPG encryption library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An out-of-bounds write in GnuPG's armor filter allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted input.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"gnupg","vendor":"gnupg"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-675","name":"Multiple Operations on Resource in Single-Operation Context"}],"description":"In GnuPG before 2.4.9, armor_filter in g10/armor.c has two increments of an index variable where one is intended, leading to an out-of-bounds write for crafted input.
