Published Jun 16, 2025 · corrected/updated Oct 14, 2026 · redhat jboss core services · evidence confidence high

A flaw was found in the interactive shell of the xmllint command-line tool, used for parsing XML files. When a user inputs an overly long command, the program does not check the input size properly, which can cause it to crash. This issue might allow attackers to run harmful code in rare configurations without modern protections.

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2025-6170 is a low public vulnerability record for redhat jboss core services. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether redhat jboss core services is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: redhat/enterprise linux (10.0); redhat/enterprise linux (6.0); redhat/enterprise linux (7.0); redhat/enterprise linux (8.0). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.
