Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS2023-2025-1178
Advisory Released Date: 2025-09-15
Advisory Updated Date: 2025-09-15
A flaw was found in the Udisks daemon, where it allows unprivileged users to create loop devices using the D-BUS system. This is achieved via the loop device handler, which handles requests sent through the D-BUS interface. As two of the parameters of this handle, it receives the file descriptor list and index specifying the file where the loop device should be backed. The function itself validates the index value to ensure it isn't bigger than the maximum value allowed. However, it fails to validate the lower bound, allowing the index parameter to be a negative value. Under these circumstances, an attacker can cause the UDisks daemon to crash or perform a local privilege escalation by gaining access to files owned by privileged users. (CVE-2025-8067)
Affected Packages:
udisks2
Issue Correction:
Run dnf update udisks2 --releasever 2023.8.20250915 or dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2025-1178 --releasever 2023.8.20250915 to update your system.
