Remote code execution via unsafe Python pickle deserialization in the community.general Ansible collection's memcached fact cache plugin gives unauthenticated network-adjacent attackers full control of the Ansible controller. Despite documenting JSON as its storage format, the plugin delegates serialization entirely to python-memcached, which transparently pickles Python objects on write and unpickles them on read - a format that executes arbitrary Python code during deserialization. Because memcached has no native authentication and Ansible fact cache keys are derived from predictable hostnames, any attacker who can write to the target memcached instance can inject a malicious payload that executes when the controller next reads cached facts. No public exploit or CISA KEV entry has been identified at time of analysis.
dnsmasq's DHCPv6 client hostname parser can read one byte past the end of a crafted FQDN option when the server processes a single DHCPv6 packet from an attacker on the same local link. The over-read byte is neither returned to the client nor logged, and no crash or confirmed information disclosure has been demonstrated; the independent assessment scores confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as none, so real-world risk is low despite the genuine memory-safety defect. No CISA KEV entry or public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.
DHCP lease metadata disclosure in dnsmasq (CVE-2026-93010) occurs when the DHCP leasequery feature has been switched on without an allow-list of permitted query sources, letting any host on the local network pull lease records - assigned IP addresses, MAC addresses, hostnames and related lease metadata. The package is shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and is bundled into Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, Ceph Storage 9 and OpenStack Platform builds, but the vulnerable feature is off unless an administrator explicitly enables it. Severity is capped at a confidentiality-only leak (CVSS 4.3, adjacent-network attack vector), and no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
TFTP file substitution in dnsmasq allows an attacker on the local network to make a later client receive stale, previously cached transfer data instead of the file it requested; in PXE network-boot deployments this can substitute attacker-chosen boot content for a victim machine, giving both confidentiality and integrity impact. The flaw only exists when dnsmasq is running with its TFTP server feature enabled (a non-default configuration used for network boot), requires adjacent-network access (AV:A) with no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N), but is rated high complexity (AC:H) because the attacker cannot control when another client will request the same file and pick up the cached response. There is no CISA KEV entry and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and the vendor-reported CVSS 3.1 score is 6.8, making this a moderate, situational issue rather than an emergency; Red Hat tracks it for remediation within the current monthly cycle.
Denial of service against dnsmasq's TCP DNS service: remote attackers can occupy the entire small fixed pool of TCP child processes by holding idle connections open to port 53, which blocks new TCP DNS queries and any DNSSEC validation that depends on TCP fallback. The flaw is packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 as well as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, Ceph Storage 9 and OpenStack Platform 13 (Queens) and 18.0, so any of those deployments exposing TCP/53 to untrusted networks is in scope. Impact is confined to availability and is time-bounded rather than permanent - UDP resolution keeps working and occupied slots are released after a fixed lifetime - and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
dnsmasq builds that include the DNSSEC validator and have validation enabled at runtime can write a few bytes past an internal domain-name buffer when converting names to and from DNS wire format, corrupting adjacent heap metadata. Only deployments where DNSSEC support was compiled in and DNSSEC validation is switched on are exposed; the default dnsmasq build omits DNSSEC entirely, and exploitation further requires an attacker to make the resolver validate a crafted DNSSEC response, for example through a spoofed or attacker-controlled answer for a signed name. Rated CVSS 5.3 (integrity-only, low impact) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; the priority signal is this_month, not immediate action.
A DNS cache-poisoning flaw in dnsmasq (CWE-345, insufficient verification of data authenticity) lets a malicious or compromised upstream resolver inject cached records for names outside its authoritative zone when dnsmasq follows a CNAME in a response. Only split-DNS deployments that forward specific domains to a designated upstream are realistically exposed, since the attacker must already occupy that trusted upstream position; standard single-forwarder or root-hint setups are far less affected. Impact is integrity-only (attacker-chosen addresses returned to later clients), rated CVSS 6.8 with AC:H, and no public exploit code or KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, so priority follows the vendor's this-month cadence rather than emergency response.
Heap buffer overflow in the libtiff `tiff2pdf` utility allows local attackers to cause severe memory corruption and application crashes by supplying a crafted BigTIFF file. The root cause is an integer truncation: a 64-bit `StripByteCounts` value is silently narrowed to 32 bits, producing an undersized heap allocation that a subsequent memory copy overflows. Red Hat has issued advisory RHSA-2026:53467 and an upstream fix is available via libtiff GitLab merge request #729; no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Unconditional TLS certificate validation disabling in the OCAPI modules (ocapi_command, ocapi_info) of the community.general Ansible collection exposes HTTP Basic-Auth credentials to interception and permits response tampering against any managed OCAPI storage or enclosure device. Because the shared request helper disables certificate validation on every call with no parameter to re-enable it, a network-adjacent attacker performing a MITM attack can present any certificate, silently capture credentials, and inject falsified device responses back to the Ansible controller. Red Hat bundles the affected collection in Ceph Storage 5 and 9 and OpenStack Platform 17.1 and 18.0; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
