1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The application must use Apache Thrift C++ or c_glib bindings prior to 0.24.0 and process untrusted Thrift messages. No special configuration is required; default installations are vulnerable.

Impact

No CVSS score or EPSS data is available in the provided sources, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV. No public exploit code is known. Given the integer overflow nature, the most likely impact is a denial of service (crash) upon processing crafted input. The lack of evidence for active exploitation and the absence of proof-of-concept code suggests the real-world risk is moderate. CVSS could be high due to network attack vector and low complexity, but the actual impact appears limited to availability.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker sends a specially crafted Thrift request to a service using vulnerable bindings, triggering an integer overflow in the read-bytes check and causing the service to crash.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 26, 2026

Denial of service in Apache Thrift through an integer overflow in the TProtocol::checkReadBytesAvailable() function affects C++ and c_glib bindings before 0.24.0. Attackers can send crafted messages to crash the service. No known active exploitation or public exploit code.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Apache Thrift 0.24.0, which contains the fix. No workarounds are provided in the advisory. The official announcement is at https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q3/268.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation produces a result that exceeds the maximum value a given integer type can store.
