AIDE is an advanced intrusion detection environment. From versions 0.13 to 0.19.1, there is a null pointer dereference vulnerability in AIDE. An attacker can crash the program during report printing or database listing after setting extended file attributes with an empty attribute value or with a key containing a comma. A local user might exploit this to cause a local denial of service. This issue has been patched in version 0.19.2. A workaround involves removing xattrs group from rules matching files on affected file systems.

According to the versions of the aide package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    AIDE is an advanced intrusion detection environment. Prior to version 0.19.2, there is an improper output     neutralization vulnerability in AIDE.  An attacker can craft a malicious filename by including terminal     escape sequences to hide the addition or removal of the file from the report and/or tamper with the log     output. A local user might exploit this to bypass the AIDE detection of malicious files. Additionally the     output of extended attribute key names and symbolic links targets are also not properly neutralized. This     issue has been patched in version 0.19.2. A workaround involves configuring AIDE to write the report     output to a regular file, redirecting stdout to a regular file, or redirecting the log output written to     stderr to a regular file.(CVE-2025-54389)

According to the versions of the glib2 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A flaw was found in glib. An integer overflow during temporary file creation leads to an out-of-bounds     memory access, allowing an attacker to potentially perform path traversal or access private temporary file     content by creating symbolic links. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to manipulate file paths     and access unauthorized data. The core issue stems from insufficient validation of file path lengths     during temporary file operations.(CVE-2025-7039)
