Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability in libnbd by Red Hat
CVE-2025-14946

4.8MEDIUM

What is CVE-2025-14946?

A security flaw observed in libnbd could allow a malicious actor to exploit the software by persuading it to open a specially crafted Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). This vulnerability is particularly concerning as it involves non-standard hostnames that begin with '-o', which are mistakenly processed as arguments for the Secure Shell (SSH) process instead of legitimate hostnames. If exploited, this can result in the execution of arbitrary code with the same privileges as the user running the libnbd process.
