Race condition in libsafe 2.0.16 and earlier, when running in multi-threaded applications, allows attackers to bypass libsafe protection and exploit other vulnerabilities before the _libsafe_die function call is completed.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2005-1125 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2005-1125. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
