Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-22873

low Nessus Plugin ID 259902

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- It was possible to improperly access the parent directory of an os.Root by opening a filename ending in ../. For example, Root.Open(../) would open the parent directory of the Root. This escape only permits opening the parent directory itself, not ancestors of the parent or files contained within the parent.
(CVE-2025-22873)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
