Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-67125

medium Nessus Plugin ID 296423

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.

 - A signed integer overflow in docopt.cpp v0.6.2 (LeafPattern::match in docopt_private.h) when merging occurrence counters (e.g., default LONG_MAX + first user -v/--verbose) can cause counter wrap (negative/unbounded semantics) and lead to logic/policy bypass in applications that rely on occurrence- based limits, rate-gating, or safety toggles. In hardened builds (e.g., UBSan or -ftrapv), the overflow may also result in process abort (DoS). (CVE-2025-67125)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
