CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: jq (CVE-2025-48060)

high Nessus Plugin ID 243024

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of jq installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-48060 advisory.

 - jq is a command-line JSON processor. In versions up to and including 1.7.1, a heap-buffer-overflow is present in function `jv_string_vfmt` in the jq_fuzz_execute harness from oss-fuzz. This crash happens on file jv.c, line 1456 `void* p = malloc(sz);`. As of time of publication, no patched versions are available. (CVE-2025-48060)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
