Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Apache Thrift Swift implementation allows remote unauthenticated attackers to trigger denial of service and disclose limited memory contents via malformed skip() operations during protocol deserialization. Affects all versions prior to 0.23.0, with publicly disclosed exploit details on oss-security mailing list. EPSS exploitation probability remains low (5th percentile) despite network-accessible attack vector, suggesting limited real-world targeting to date. Vendor patch released in version 0.23.0 addresses all six concurrently disclosed Thrift vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-41602 through CVE-2026-41607).

Technical ContextAI

Apache Thrift is a cross-language RPC framework supporting multiple protocol implementations including Swift, C++, Java, Go, and c_glib bindings. This vulnerability represents a CWE-125 out-of-bounds read occurring in the Swift language binding's Compact Protocol implementation, specifically within the skip() function used during field deserialization. The skip() function traverses type descriptors without properly validating range boundaries, allowing crafted Thrift messages to reference memory outside allocated buffers. The disclosure clusters six distinct CVEs affecting different language bindings (Swift range handling, C++ JSON parsing, Go uint32 handling, Java TLS verification, c_glib stack overflow), indicating systemic input validation weaknesses across the Thrift ecosystem rather than isolated implementation flaws. The CWE-125 classification confirms read-only access violations, distinguishing this from write-based buffer overflows that enable code execution.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Apache Thrift version 0.23.0 or later, which addresses all six disclosed vulnerabilities per the vendor advisory published April 28, 2026 on oss-security and archived at https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/04/28 and https://lists.apache.org/thread/lb4j0zyd5f3g36cos0wql925przpnwql. For Swift-specific CVE-2026-41604 remediation, version 0.23.0 includes range validation fixes in skip() deserialization logic. If immediate patching is infeasible, deploy network-layer compensating controls: restrict Thrift service endpoints to authenticated internal networks only (eliminates PR:N attack vector), implement strict input size limits at load balancers to prevent oversized crafted messages (mitigates memory exhaustion from repeated exploitation), and enable verbose logging to detect anomalous skip() call patterns during deserialization (provides forensic visibility). These mitigations reduce remote attack surface but do not eliminate the underlying vulnerability-consider these temporary measures only, as they introduce operational overhead in monitoring and may impact legitimate large message handling. Multi-CVE nature of disclosure suggests urgency in patching entire Thrift stack rather than language-specific workarounds.
