There are 7 open security issues in trixie.
7 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2023-39810:
(needs triaging)
An issue in the CPIO command of Busybox v1.33.2 allows attackers to execute a directory traversal.
- CVE-2023-42366:
(postponed; to be fixed through a stable update)
A heap-buffer-overflow was discovered in BusyBox v.1.36.1 in the next_token function at awk.c:1159.
- CVE-2024-58251:
(postponed; to be fixed through a stable update)
In netstat in BusyBox through 1.37.0, local users can launch of network application with an argv[0] containing an ANSI terminal escape sequence, leading to a denial of service (terminal locked up) when netstat is used by a victim.
- CVE-2025-46394:
(postponed; to be fixed through a stable update)
In tar in BusyBox through 1.37.0, a TAR archive can have filenames hidden from a listing through the use of terminal escape sequences.
- CVE-2025-60876:
(postponed; to be fixed through a stable update)
BusyBox wget thru 1.3.7 accepted raw CR (0x0D)/LF (0x0A) and other C0 control bytes in the HTTP request-target (path/query), allowing the request line to be split and attacker-controlled headers to be injected. To preserve the HTTP/1.1 request-line shape METHOD SP request-target SP HTTP/1.1, a raw space (0x20) in the request-target must also be rejected (clients should use %20).
- CVE-2026-26157:
(needs triaging)
A flaw was found in BusyBox. Incomplete path sanitization in its archive extraction utilities allows an attacker to craft malicious archives that when extracted, and under specific conditions, may write to files outside the intended directory. This can lead to arbitrary file overwrite, potentially enabling code execution through the modification of sensitive system files.
- CVE-2026-26158:
(needs triaging)
A flaw was found in BusyBox. This vulnerability allows an attacker to modify files outside of the intended extraction directory by crafting a malicious tar archive containing unvalidated hardlink or symlink entries. If the tar archive is extracted with elevated privileges, this flaw can lead to privilege escalation, enabling an attacker to gain unauthorized access to critical system files.
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
