Overview\n\nA flaw was found in libxslt where the attribute type, atype, flags are modified in a way that corrupts internal memory management. When XSLT functions, such as the key() process, result in tree fragments, this corruption prevents the proper cleanup of ID attributes. As a result, the system may access freed memory, causing crashes or enabling attackers to trigger heap corruption.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2025:13464** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7 ELS), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7 ELS) · released 2025-08-07 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:13464)\n- **RHSA-2025:15308** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 · released 2025-09-11 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:15308)\n- **RHSA-2026:0934** · Red Hat · fixed in: 8Base-Openshift-Serverless-1.36 · released 2026-01-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:0934)\n- **RHSA-2025:15672** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.13 · released 2025-09-18 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:15672)\n- **RHSA-2025:14853** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 · released 2025-09-04 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14853)\n- **RHSA-2025:14396** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.15 · released 2025-08-27 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14396)\n- **RHSA-2025:14858** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.16 · released 2025-09-04 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14858)\n- **RHSA-2025:14059** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 · released 2025-08-27 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14059)\n- **RHSA-2025:14818** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 · released 2025-09-04 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14818)\n- **RHSA-2025:14819** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.19 · released 2025-09-02 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14819)\n- **RHSA-2025:15828** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Web Terminal 1.11 on RHEL 9 · released 2025-09-15 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:15828)\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 · updated 2026-09-21 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2025/cve-2025-7425.json)","depth":"midnight","depthScore":55,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.9,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":4871,"id":"CVE-2025-7425","ts":1788887212713,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"},{"seq":3754,"id":"CVE-2025-7425","ts":1788886329327,"field":"exploit_available","old":"true","new":"false"},{"seq":2599,"id":"CVE-2025-7425","ts":1788883010403,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"},{"seq":1628,"id":"CVE-2025-7425","ts":1788882410699,"field":"exploit_available","old":"true","new":"false"},{"seq":233,"id":"CVE-2025-7425","ts":1788881642412,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"}]}
