Hi,

I'm iperf3 maintainer and there are two CVE fixed upstream:

CVE-2025-54349
| In iperf before 3.19.1, iperf_auth.c has an off-by-one error and
| resultant heap-based buffer overflow.
https://github.com/esnet/iperf/commit/42280d2292ed5f213bfcb33b2206ebcdb151ae66
patch:
https://github.com/esnet/iperf/commit/42280d2292ed5f213bfcb33b2206ebcdb151ae66.patch

This patch fails to apply but it is easy to do it by hand.

CVE-2025-54350
| In iperf before 3.19.1, iperf_auth.c has a Base64Decode assertion
| failure and application exit upon a malformed authentication
| attempt.
https://github.com/esnet/iperf/commit/de932ea16bc959f839d28d370f0602de52c5def1
patch:
https://github.com/esnet/iperf/commit/de932ea16bc959f839d28d370f0602de52c5def1.patch

This one applies with offset warnings.


Both CVEs will require the SSL authentication, one exploitable before
authentication. This way of using iperf3 is not common enough in my
understanding, so the impact of the bugs is very limited.

I have been emailing with Salvatore Bonaccorso and he thinks (and I
agree) that the fix for bookworm should go to the next point release
instead of releasing a DSA.

I am attaching the debdiff with the changes and I will wait for your
instructions before doing the upload.

Regards,
Roberto
