{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-54409","details":"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.","modified":"2026-02-04T04:09:28.042341Z","published":"2025-08-14T14:00:00Z","related":["USN-7697-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2025-54409"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-54409"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-54409"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7697-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"aide","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/aide@0.16~a2.git20130520-2ubuntu0.1+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy/trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.16~a2.git20130520-2ubuntu0.1+esm2"}]}],"versions":["0.15.1-8ubuntu2","0.16~a2.git20130520-2","0.16~a2.git20130520-2ubuntu0.1","0.16~a2.git20130520-2ubuntu0.1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available
