Hi,

You are receiving an AlmaLinux Security update email because you subscribed to receive errata
notifications from AlmaLinux.

AlmaLinux: 10
Type: Security
Severity: Important
Release date: 2026-01-21

Summary:

gpsd is a service daemon that mediates access to a GPS sensor connected to the host computer by
serial or USB interface, making its data on the location/course/velocity of the sensor available to
be queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications (such
as navigational and war-driving software) can share access to a GPS without contention or loss of
data. Also, gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially easier to parse than NMEA
0183.  

Security Fix(es):  

  * gpsd: gpsd: Denial of Service due to malformed NAVCOM packet parsing (CVE-2025-67269)
  * gpsd: gpsd: Arbitrary code execution via heap-based out-of-bounds write in NMEA2000 packet
handling (CVE-2025-67268)
