  3. CVE-2025-54409
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.

Summary
  • (es) AIDE es un entorno avanzado de detección de intrusiones. Desde la versión 0.13 hasta la 0.19.1, existe una vulnerabilidad de desreferencia de puntero nulo en AIDE. Un atacante puede bloquear el programa durante la impresión de informes o el listado de bases de datos tras configurar atributos de archivo extendidos con un valor de atributo vacío o con una clave que contenga una coma. Un usuario local podría explotar esto para provocar una denegación de servicio local. Este problema se ha corregido en la versión 0.19.2. Una solución alternativa consiste en eliminar el grupo xattrs de las reglas que coinciden con los archivos de los sistemas de archivos afectados.
