Description


1.CVE-2025-0927

The flaw resides in the HFS+ driver of the Linux kernel. According to the advisory, the vulnerability is a buffer overflow in B-tree node processing. Under specific conditions, the hfs_bnode_read_key function, located in fs/hfsplus/bnode.c, is used to populate an in-kernel buffer from the filesystem, but it lacks proper boundary checks on the size of the key.

3.CVE-2025-26633

This vulnerability has been actively exploited by the Russian threat actor group known as Water Gamayun (also referred to as EncryptHub and Larva-208). They have leveraged this flaw, dubbed “MSC EvilTwin,” to manipulate .msc files and the Multilingual User Interface Path (MUIPath), enabling the download and execution of malicious payloads, maintaining persistence, and stealing sensitive data from infected systems.

4.CVE-2025-20229​

According to Splunk’s advisory, a low-privileged user without “admin” or “power” roles could exploit the vulnerability. This is achieved through uploading a file to the “$SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/apptemp” directory, bypassing necessary authorization checks.
