Authentication bypass in SSSD's OIDC/IdP provider allows an authenticated IdP user whose subject identifier is a strict lexical prefix of a target user's identifier to impersonate that target user on SSSD-protected Linux systems. The root cause is `eval_access_token_buf()` passing the attacker-controlled identifier's length to `strncmp()`, reducing an identity equality check to a prefix test. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases (6-10) and OpenShift Container Platform 4 are affected when SSSD is configured to use an OIDC-based identity provider; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Double-free memory corruption in libxml2's SAX parser Python bindings allows a remote attacker to crash Python applications by supplying XML documents with DTD-defined enumerated attribute values, triggering a use-after-free in the attributeDecl callback. The vulnerability (CWE-763) is confirmed by Red Hat and affects all major RHEL versions (6 through 10) as well as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 and Hardened Images. While the confirmed impact is a reproducible denial of service, the Red Hat-provided CVSS vector (C:H/I:H/A:H with scope change) signals that Red Hat assesses the double-free as carrying latent code-execution potential beyond the confirmed crash. No public exploit and no KEV listing exist at time of analysis.
Heap buffer overflow in Corosync's Totem Process Group (totempg) message reassembly exposes high-availability clusters to network-adjacent unauthenticated attack. When processing fragmented multicast messages, the reassembly buffer lacks runtime bounds checking in release builds, allowing an attacker on the same cluster network to trigger heap corruption with attacker-controlled data. The confirmed impact is a daemon crash causing full cluster denial-of-service; the description explicitly acknowledges the potential for further exploitation - including possible code execution - contingent on heap layout control, though RCE remains unconfirmed at time of analysis. No public exploit or KEV listing identified.
Symlink traversal in util-linux's X-mount.subdir mount option allows a local unprivileged user with an fstab-authorized entry to redirect mount resolution to arbitrary host paths, achieving privilege escalation or container escape on Linux 6.15+ kernels. The root cause is that AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, passed to open_tree() in the detached-tree fast path, only blocks final-component symlinks - not intermediate path components - leaving an attacker who can plant a symlink in a middle directory able to substitute the intended subdirectory with any host path. Affected platforms include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7-10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation in util-linux's SUID mount(8) binary exposes all major Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions (7-10), Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4 to root-level file ownership and permission manipulation by low-privileged local users. The flaw stems from a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race: mount(8) reads the bind-mount source from fstab but does not pin the resolved inode before issuing the privileged syscall, allowing an attacker with write access to the source path or a writable ancestor to substitute an arbitrary host directory. When fstab entries additionally specify X-mount.owner, X-mount.group, or X-mount.mode, root subsequently applies chown or chmod to the attacker-redirected path, completing the privilege escalation. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in util-linux's nsenter --join-cgroup option allows an unprivileged local user to move and terminate root-owned host processes by exploiting a persistent file descriptor opened as root that survives across namespace and credential changes. The kernel evaluates cgroup migration requests against the credentials held at fd-open time rather than the current caller's credentials, so any program that inherits the still-open cgroup.procs fd effectively retains root's cgroup management authority. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7-10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 are confirmed affected; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Quadratic-time CPU exhaustion in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4's OAuth login and error page endpoints allows unauthenticated remote attackers to deny authentication to all cluster users simultaneously. The attack exploits a bypass of the CVE-2022-32149 mitigation in golang.org/x/text/language.ParseAcceptLanguage(): the existing guard checks for hyphen ('-') character counts, but the BCP 47 scanner internally aliases underscore ('_') to '-' after the guard executes, allowing a crafted Accept-Language header with underscore subtag separators to slip through and trigger unbounded quadratic-time parsing. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though the bypass mechanism is fully documented in the CVE description, meaningfully lowering the bar to exploitation.
Incomplete remediation of CVE-2025-9615 in NetworkManager exposes WPA-Enterprise (802.1X) connections to server certificate validation bypass on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. An unprivileged local user can set the 802-1x.ca-path or phase2-ca-path properties of a private connection profile to an attacker-controlled directory because the private_user restriction was never applied to these directory-valued fields. When the victim system subsequently connects to a wireless network, the bypassed CA validation enables credential theft via a rogue access point presenting a certificate signed by the attacker-supplied CA. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV at time of analysis; however, SSVC rates the attack as automatable with total technical impact once local access exists.
Macro injection in rpmbuild's tarball mode allows arbitrary code execution on systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. When rpmbuild processes a tarball in tarball mode, specially crafted tar member names are interpreted as RPM macros, enabling an attacker who can distribute a malicious tarball to achieve full RCE in the context of the user running the build. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the social-engineering requirement is realistic in open-source build pipeline contexts where developers routinely fetch and build third-party source tarballs.
Confidential Containers isolation in Kata Containers can be subverted by a malicious host operator via insufficient path validation in genpolicy's CreateContainer mount and storage rule enforcement. Affected deployments include Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 running Kata Containers with genpolicy enabled for Confidential Containers guest protection. An operator-level attacker can mount arbitrary container-rootfs paths over sensitive host locations or inject attacker-controlled content into the guest, breaking the core confidentiality and integrity guarantees that Confidential Containers are designed to provide. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management's multicloud-operators-subscription controller lets a low-privileged user on a managed cluster create a Subscription with crafted annotations that the controller processes with its own elevated Service Account, deploying attacker-chosen resources into arbitrary namespaces. The flaw (CWE-863, CVSS 9.9, scope-changed) affects Red Hat ACM 2.x and Multicluster Global Hub as reported by Red Hat. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Server-Side Request Forgery in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4's Dev Console webhook helpers allows authenticated users to coerce the console pod into issuing arbitrary outbound HTTP requests on their behalf. Because the console pod operates from a privileged network position within the cluster, this enables lateral movement to internal services - including the Kubernetes API server, metadata endpoints, and internal microservices - that would otherwise be unreachable from outside the cluster. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the Scope:Changed CVSS metric reflects the cross-boundary nature of the impact.
Server-Side Request Forgery in the OpenShift Console Helm catalog proxy allows low-privileged namespace tenants to plant a malicious ProjectHelmChartRepository resource pointing to an attacker-controlled URL, causing the console pod to issue server-side fetches that bypass tenant egress restrictions. Combined with Helm catalog metadata poisoning and subsequent admin-mediated chart installation, this multi-stage attack chain enables privilege escalation within the cluster. No CISA KEV listing or public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS Scope:Changed rating correctly reflects that the console pod's cross-boundary requests extend impact beyond the originating namespace.
Privilege escalation in the `openvt -u` utility allows a local low-privileged attacker to obtain passwordless root login on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. The flaw lies in `authenticate_user()`, which resolves VT ownership via `stat("/proc/<pid>/fd/0")` - a call that follows the symlink to the underlying TTY device node rather than inspecting the owning process, causing the check to read the device node's UID rather than the process owner's UID. When a privileged user logs out and TTY device node ownership reverts to root or the getty owner while an attacker's process still holds fd 0 on that TTY, the check incorrectly authorizes a passwordless `login -f root` execution. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV listing, but the root-level impact makes this a high priority for environments using the affected `kbrequest`/init deployment pattern.
Command injection in dracut's die() error-handling function allows an unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent network, controlling a rogue DHCP server, to execute arbitrary commands as root during initramfs boot-failure recovery. The flaw exists because error messages written into emergency hook shell scripts under the initramfs environment are not shell-quoted, and those messages can carry attacker-controlled data sourced from the DHCP ROOT_PATH option processed by the 40network module. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the exploitation primitive is conceptually straightforward for anyone with DHCP server control on the local network segment.
Memory corruption in libkcapi's one-shot asynchronous I/O path allows a local process to induce kernel writes into application-owned output buffers after an error return. Affected platforms include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. An unprivileged local attacker or a compromised application can exploit this use-after-free-class condition to crash the calling process (high availability impact) or corrupt buffer contents for limited confidentiality and integrity impact. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Out-of-bounds read in SSSD's PAM responder allows a local low-privileged attacker to crash the SSSD process and disclose sensitive memory contents by sending a crafted protocol v1 authentication request. Affected systems span all major Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases (6 through 10) and OpenShift Container Platform 4, representing a broad footprint in enterprise Linux environments. No active exploitation is confirmed (not listed in CISA KEV), and the EPSS score of 0.14% at the 3rd percentile reflects a very low observed exploitation probability at time of analysis.
Confidential Active Directory attribute disclosure in Samba's Active Directory Domain Controller allows an authenticated low-privilege domain user to read protected directory attributes by abusing how LDAP Compare requests are handled. Because Samba fails to validate user-supplied attribute names (LDAP filter injection, CWE-90) and runs the resulting internal search in a trusted context, normal ACL enforcement is bypassed; in gMSA-enabled deployments this permits extraction of msKds-RootKeyData and offline derivation of Group Managed Service Account passwords, which can escalate to full domain compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor patch is available.
Remote unauthenticated denial of service in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP), the system performance monitoring toolkit shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, allows an attacker to permanently disable a PCP daemon by triggering a signed integer overflow (CWE-190) in the __pmGetPDU() PDU-length handling routine. A crafted network packet sent during normal PDU processing or SASL authentication negotiation corrupts the read logic so that the daemon can no longer read any subsequent packets, requiring a manual restart. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw yields no code execution or data exposure - impact is availability-only (CVSS 7.5, A:H).
Remote unauthenticated access-control bypass in the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) pmproxy component lets attackers reach the /store endpoint and overwrite arbitrary PMDA (Performance Metrics Domain Agent) metric values, which the reporter (Red Hat) states can escalate to arbitrary code execution and full system takeover. The flaw affects PCP as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the network-reachable, no-authentication attack surface makes exposed pmproxy instances a meaningful risk.
Local privilege escalation in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 arises from the linux_sockets module exposing an unsecured internal connection. An attacker who already holds low-level code execution on the host can leverage this leaked/unprotected socket to run arbitrary commands as root. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV, so exploitation would require an existing foothold rather than remote unauthenticated access.
Local privilege-relevant command injection in Performance Co-Pilot's (PCP) linux_sockets PMDA lets an authenticated user inject shell metacharacters through the network.persocket.filter metric, causing arbitrary commands to run as the PMDA user each time metrics refresh. Reported by Red Hat, it affects the pcp packages shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Out-of-bounds write in GNU binutils' BFD library (bfd/elf32-dlx.c) lets a crafted ELF/DLX object file corrupt memory and achieve arbitrary code execution when parsed by any BFD-consuming tool (objdump, readelf, strip, ld, nm, objcopy). Reported by Red Hat and tracked against RHEL 6-10, Hardened Images and OpenShift 4, the flaw is only reachable when binutils is compiled with the DLX backend (typically --enable-targets=all), so exposure is gated by a non-default build option. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis (not in CISA KEV), though the researcher demonstrated code execution via a File Stream Oriented Programming (FSOP) attack on glibc FILE structures.
Privilege escalation in CRIU allows a malicious container process to spoof credentials during checkpoint, resulting in elevated capabilities upon restore. On Red Hat platforms, effective exploitation is mitigated by mandatory access controls, user namespaces, and the requirement for privileged checkpoint initiation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Identity header smuggling in OpenShift Container Platform 4.x allows authenticated low-privilege users to escalate privileges by injecting forged identity headers that upstream applications may trust. The oauth-proxy fails to strip underscore-variant headers, enabling WSGI and PHP frameworks to normalize them into the legitimate identity, potentially overriding the true authenticated user. No known active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified.
Local privilege escalation to root in the QEMU Guest Agent (qga) affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, RHEL for NVIDIA 26, and OpenShift Container Platform 4, where a local unprivileged guest user abuses the guest-ssh-add-authorized-keys command handler through symlink manipulation to seize ownership of arbitrary root-owned files. Two attack variants exist - a deterministic directory-symlink bypass and a TOCTOU file-symlink race - both requiring an external management layer such as libvirt to invoke the code path. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the CVSS 7.3 rating and clean path to full root access make it a meaningful local escalation risk in multi-tenant virtualization estates.
Denial of service in libsolv's PGP signature verification (solv_pgpvrfy) allows remote attackers to crash automated package and repository processing by supplying a crafted Ed25519 signature. The flaw is a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) triggered when the EdDSA 's' MPI is copied into a fixed 64-byte stack buffer using an attacker-controlled mismatched length. It affects the libsolv dependency solver embedded in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/8/9/10, OpenShift, Satellite, RHUI, openSUSE/SUSE, Ubuntu and Debian; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV.
Out-of-bounds heap write in QEMU lets a local attacker operating inside a guest virtual machine corrupt memory in the host emulator process, enabling information disclosure, data-integrity corruption, or denial of service. The flaw stems from cpu_physical_memory_map() returning a shorter buffer length than the caller assumes, so subsequent writes spill past the allocation. Rated CVSS 7.8 (CWE-787); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but multiple distributions (Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian) have shipped fixes.
Privilege escalation in CRI-O (the OCI container runtime used by Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 and many Kubernetes clusters) lets an attacker who can set container environment variables inject a newline into the HOME variable and append arbitrary lines to /etc/passwd, enabling creation of a rootful or otherwise privileged account inside the container. It is a bypass of the incomplete fix for CVE-2022-4318, whose HOME sanitization was insufficient. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation to root and Kerberos-based authentication bypass in SSSD's Active Directory GPO provider affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. Because ad_gpo_extract_smb_components() fails to sanitize '..' sequences in the gPCFileSysPath LDAP attribute (CWE-23), an actor holding AD GPO management rights can force an SSSD-enrolled host to write attacker-controlled files outside the GPO cache as root, injecting Kerberos configuration to bypass authentication. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local-to-domain-wide root privilege escalation in SSSD's LDAP sudo provider allows an authenticated LDAP directory user with write access to any subtree to inject a malicious sudoRole object and gain root-level sudo on every SSSD-enrolled host. The flaw exists because, when ldap_sudo_search_base is left unset, SSSD searches the entire directory tree for sudoRole objects, trusting rules planted anywhere in the DIT. Rated CVSS 8.8 by Red Hat and reported against RHEL 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in libarchive's RAR5 reader allows remote attackers to crash applications that decompress untrusted RAR5 archives via a double-free (CWE-415) of the stale filtered_buf pointer. Reported by Red Hat and affecting libarchive as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images, the flaw is triggered purely by parsing a malicious archive entry. No public exploit has been identified and the issue is not in CISA KEV; impact is limited to availability (CVSS 7.5, A:H only) with no code execution or data exposure claimed.
Credential theft in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform's Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO) allows adjacent-network attackers to intercept SSH sessions to Windows worker nodes and steal WICD and kubelet bootstrap credentials. WMCO fails to verify the remote SSH host key when configuring Windows nodes, enabling a man-in-the-middle attacker positioned on the cluster network to capture credentials sufficient to assume Windows node identities. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in the Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO) for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform allows a compromised Windows worker node holding WICD credentials to obtain a cluster-administrator client certificate. The WICD CSR auto-approver checks for the system:wicd-nodes organization but fails to reject additional organization values such as system:masters, enabling full cluster takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in the cifs-utils cifs.upcall helper allows low-privileged Linux users to gain root by abusing the kernel request_key interface to load a malicious NSS module inside an attacker-controlled mount namespace. The root-owned helper fails to drop privileges before performing user-name resolution, so the attacker's NSS module executes with full root capabilities. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug affects every supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux release (6 through 10) and OpenShift Container Platform 4, making it a high-priority hardening fix for any host with CIFS/SMB client functionality.
Root command injection in dracut's legacy DHCP path allows adjacent-network attackers to execute arbitrary commands inside the initramfs by sending crafted DHCP options (e.g., malicious hostname) that are written unescaped into temporary shell scripts. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4, granting full system compromise during early boot. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.16%, 36th percentile), but SSVC rates technical impact as total.
HAProxy configuration injection in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 allows a low-privileged tenant with permission to create or modify Route resources to inject controlled directives into the cluster ingress configuration via the spec.path field. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 8.8 score with scope change (S:C) reflects the ability to break out of the tenant boundary and impact the shared HAProxy router serving the entire cluster.
Authentication bypass in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 Router allows remote unauthenticated attackers to impersonate TLS client certificate identities by injecting X-SSL-Client-* headers over plain HTTP. The flaw affects Routes configured with insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy set to Allow, where the HTTP frontend fails to strip these trusted headers from inbound requests. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.03%), and CISA SSVC marks exploitation status as none with total technical impact.
Command injection in the rpmuncompress utility of RPM allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands when a victim extracts a maliciously crafted ZIP, 7z, or GEM archive whose top-level folder name contains shell metacharacters. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and downstream products including OpenShift Container Platform 4, Satellite 6, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Quarkus Native Builder. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue requires user interaction with an attacker-supplied archive, but successful exploitation yields full code execution under the extracting user's identity.
Certificate validation bypass in GnuTLS (as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images) lets a remote attacker defeat hostname verification: when a certificate carries an oversized Subject Alternative Name, the library incorrectly abandons SAN matching and falls back to the legacy Common Name field, accepting certificates it should reject. An attacker positioned to intercept traffic can present such a certificate to impersonate a trusted server and conduct spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks against TLS clients that rely on GnuTLS. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing, and no EPSS score in the provided data.
Improper certificate validation in GnuTLS (CWE-295) lets a remote attacker defeat TLS hostname verification by presenting a certificate that carries URI or SRV Subject Alternative Names, causing GnuTLS to incorrectly fall back to matching the connection's DNS hostname against the certificate's Common Name (CN) and enabling service spoofing or man-in-the-middle interception of sensitive data. The flaw was reported by Red Hat against GnuTLS as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images, and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 driven by high integrity impact. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; exploitation requires the victim to initiate a connection to attacker-controlled infrastructure (UI:R).
Information disclosure and denial of service in GnuTLS (libgnutls) let a remote, unauthenticated attacker trigger a heap overread against TLS servers that perform legacy RSA key exchange using a private key backed by a PKCS#11 token. By sending an abnormally short premaster secret, the attacker causes the library to read beyond an allocated buffer (CWE-1284), which can leak a small amount of adjacent heap memory and, per the CVSS vector, more strongly impacts availability (A:H). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV; EPSS and SSVC data were not provided.
Heap buffer overflow in libsolv allows local attackers to corrupt memory when a vulnerable application processes a maliciously crafted .solv repository metadata file. The flaw stems from insufficient input validation during decompression of attacker-controlled data, enabling information disclosure, control-flow alteration, or denial of service across multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases and SUSE distributions. SSVC marks exploitation as PoC-level with total technical impact, while EPSS remains very low at 0.01%, indicating limited probability of widespread exploitation despite high severity.
Remote code execution in Samba's printing subsystem allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands via crafted print job descriptions. The flaw stems from unescaped expansion of the client-controlled '%J' substitution token into the configured 'print command', enabling shell metacharacter injection. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scores exploitation probability at only 0.08%, but CVSS 9.0 with scope change reflects high potential impact on any Samba host exposing print services.
Certificate validation in GnuTLS can be bypassed when a certificate chain contains Certificate Authorities with only excluded name constraints followed by CAs with permitted name constraints. Remote attackers can exploit this flaw (CVSS 7.4, AV:N/AC:H) to present invalid certificates that pass validation, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks or service impersonation against TLS-protected communications. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6-10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images. No public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, though the technical nature suggests targeted attacks against high-value certificate infrastructure are feasible.
Heap buffer overflow in GnuTLS DTLS handshake allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash applications or corrupt memory. The vulnerability stems from inconsistent fragment validation in merge_handshake_packet(), where attackers can send crafted DTLS fragments with conflicting message_length values to trigger out-of-bounds writes. Red Hat reported this affecting RHEL 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. CVSS 7.5 (High) reflects network-accessible denial of service, though memory corruption may enable further exploitation. No EPSS data, KEV status, or POC availability reported at time of analysis, but the remote unauthenticated attack vector (AV:N/PR:N) and low complexity (AC:L) make this a priority for systems using DTLS.
Out-of-bounds read in the GnuTLS DTLS handshake reassembly logic lets remote unauthenticated attackers trigger an integer underflow by sending malformed handshake fragments with zero length and a non-zero offset, enabling information disclosure or denial of service against Red Hat-shipped GnuTLS (RHEL 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images). Reported by Red Hat with a vendor patch available and errata released; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.04%, 11th percentile) with SSVC exploitation status 'none'. CVSS 9.1 reflects high confidentiality and availability impact over the network at low complexity without authentication.
Certificate name-constraints bypass in GnuTLS allows a remote attacker to craft a leaf certificate whose Subject Alternative Name differs only in letter casing from a constrained dNSName or rfc822Name, causing GnuTLS to accept a certificate that its excludedSubtrees/permittedSubtrees policy should reject. The flaw stems from case-sensitive comparison of name-constraint labels and enables unauthorized access, impersonation, or information disclosure across software (notably Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4) that relies on GnuTLS for X.509 validation. SSVC notes a public proof-of-concept exists, though EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.03%, 9th percentile) and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in libxml2 allows a remote attacker to crash any application that uses the library to XSD-validate an attacker-supplied XML document containing an internal entity reference. The flaw is a CWE-843 type confusion triggered during schema validation, affecting a wide range of Red Hat products that ship libxml2. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.01%, 3rd percentile), consistent with SSVC exploitation status of 'none'.
Heap buffer overflow in GNU Binutils XCOFF linker allows arbitrary code execution when a local user processes a malicious object file. Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 are confirmed affected via CPE data. CVSS 7.8 reflects local attack vector requiring user interaction (opening/linking the crafted file). No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and no public proof-of-concept identified at time of analysis. Real-world risk depends heavily on whether development workflows involve linking untrusted XCOFF files, which is uncommon outside AIX/PowerPC cross-compilation scenarios.
Out-of-bounds write in dnsmasq's DHCP split-relay handler allows remote unauthenticated denial of service via crafted BOOTREPLY packets. Affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 when dnsmasq runs with the --dhcp-split-relay option enabled. CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates trivial network exploitation, but real-world risk is mitigated by the non-default configuration requirement. No public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) confirmed at time of analysis, though CWE-787 (out-of-bounds write) primitives are well-understood by attackers.
Remote unauthenticated attackers can crash GnuTLS servers by sending malformed TLS handshake messages containing invalid Pre-Shared Key binder values, triggering a NULL pointer dereference. Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6-10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images are affected. Vendor patches are available. EPSS score of 0.08% (24th percentile) suggests low current exploitation probability despite network-accessible attack vector. SSVC framework classifies this as automatable with partial technical impact but no known exploitation, making this a medium-priority patching target focused on preventing service disruption rather than data breach.
Local privilege escalation in libcap's cap_set_file() function affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, where a TOCTOU race condition allows an unprivileged user with write access to a parent directory to redirect file capability updates onto an attacker-controlled file. Successful exploitation can inject or strip Linux file capabilities on arbitrary executables, yielding full privilege escalation on the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is 0.01%, but a vendor patch is available.
Remote denial of service via integer overflow in Corosync cluster engine affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. Unauthenticated attackers can send crafted UDP packets to crash Corosync services running in totemudp/totemudpu mode (CVSS 7.5, AV:N/PR:N). EPSS data not provided; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Impacts high-availability cluster deployments where Corosync provides quorum and messaging services.
Out-of-bounds read in Corosync allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash cluster nodes and potentially leak memory via malformed UDP packets. Affects default totemudp/totemudpu configurations across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/8/9/10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. CVSS 8.2 (High) with network attack vector, low complexity, and no authentication required. EPSS and exploitation status data not available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Impacts high-availability clustering infrastructure commonly used in enterprise production environments.
Remote code execution in libarchive on 32-bit systems allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted ISO9660 images. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, with vendor patches released across multiple RHSA advisories. Despite the CVSS 7.5 score and network attack vector, EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.05%, 16th percentile) and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, though SSVC classifies the vulnerability as automatable with total technical impact.
Remote denial-of-service in libssh 0.11.x and earlier allows unauthenticated attackers to crash SSH server daemon processes via malformed GSSAPI authentication OID payloads. The vulnerability affects the ssh_get_hexa() API function when processing zero-length input, exploitable remotely when GSSAPI authentication is enabled and logging verbosity is set to SSH_LOG_PATCH (level 3) or higher. Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, and Debian have released patches (libssh 0.11.4 and 0.12.0). EPSS score of 0.09% and SSVC assessment indicate low real-world exploitation likelihood despite network attack vector, with no active exploitation confirmed. Ubuntu classified this as low priority, and CISA SSVC notes exploitation as 'none' but 'automatable' with partial impact.
Denial of service in p11-kit's PKCS#11 RPC client allows a malicious remote token to trigger a NULL pointer dereference or undefined behavior in applications consuming derive-key operations. The flaw is reachable when an application calls C_DeriveKey against a remote token using IBM Kyber or IBM BTC derive mechanisms whose parameters are NULL, with the RPC client returning an uninitialized value. EPSS is low (0.10%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; SSVC marks exploitation as none but automatable.
The antchfx/xpath component in Debian is vulnerable to denial of service when processing specially crafted Boolean XPath expressions, which trigger an infinite loop in the logicalQuery.Select function consuming 100% CPU resources. Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this over the network without user interaction to disable affected systems. No patch is currently available.
Heap memory disclosure in libarchive allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive heap data by submitting a malformed RAR archive. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, with vendor patches available per multiple RHSA advisories (RHSA-2026:8492 through RHSA-2026:8908). Despite the HIGH CVSS score of 7.5 and network-exploitable vector requiring no authentication, the EPSS score of 0.14% (35th percentile) indicates low observed exploitation probability. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting this remains a patch-and-monitor priority rather than emergency response.
Information disclosure and denial-of-service in GNU Binutils' BFD linker (ld) arises from an out-of-bounds heap read when parsing malformed XCOFF object files. A local attacker who convinces a user to link or otherwise process a specially crafted XCOFF file can leak adjacent heap memory (CWE-125) or crash the linking process. Tracked by Red Hat across RHEL 6 through 10 and OpenShift 4; no public exploit is identified and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.01%, 2nd percentile).
Out-of-bounds heap read in the BFD linker (ld) component of GNU Binutils allows information disclosure or an application-level crash when a victim is induced to process a crafted XCOFF object file. Affected across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 (and OpenShift Container Platform 4), exploitation requires user interaction and local file processing - there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is negligible (0.01%, 2nd percentile).
Infinite loop in libarchive's RAR5 decompression (archive_read_data) allows remote unauthenticated denial-of-service via malformed archive that passes checksum validation. Affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. EPSS 0.04% (11th percentile) suggests low exploitation probability despite CVSS 7.5. Vendor patches available from Red Hat and Ubuntu. Upstream fix in libarchive PR#2877. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV).
A path-handling flaw in the containers/storage Go library lets a crafted tar archive containing a malicious whiteout entry (for example 'victim/.wh.') cause UnpackLayer, ApplyLayer, or ApplyUncompressedLayer to replace the extraction destination directory with an arbitrary file. Systems that unpack container image layers with this library — notably Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2, OpenShift Container Platform 4, Quay 3, OpenShift Virtualization, Dev Spaces, and Red Hat Hardened Images — are in scope. Exploitation requires the operator or process to unpack an attacker-supplied archive, and the integrity impact is confined to the local extraction target; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, consistent with the modest CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4.
Symlink-based path traversal in the buildah/copier Go package allows a crafted tar archive to create files outside the intended extraction directory when the library is used outside of Buildah by a non-root caller. Buildah's own extraction path applies chroot hardening and is explicitly not affected, so real exposure sits with downstream consumers of the package - including Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 in the published CPE data, plus other tagged Red Hat products - that unpack untrusted archives with it. Impact is integrity-only (no confidentiality or availability component in the assessed vector), the victim application must actually process the malicious archive (UI:R), EPSS is low at 0.25% (16th percentile), CISA's SSVC records exploitation as none and automatable as no, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
An out-of-bounds read in the SSSD NSS responder allows any local user who can reach the responder's UNIX socket to crash the process by sending a specially crafted service lookup request, degrading local name/service resolution on the host. Only SSSD deployments shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 nodes are listed as affected by the vendor CPE data, and the flaw requires local socket access rather than network reach. There is no public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing; SSVC records exploitation as 'none' and the issue carries a modest CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.0 (availability impact only).
Denial of service in multipathd allows a local attacker with access to the UNIX control socket to permanently block the daemon's listener thread by sending valid commands and then refusing to read the replies. This renders legitimate IPC operations - such as multipath path queries and storage management commands - unable to complete until the daemon is restarted. Red Hat, the reporting source, explicitly confirms the issue is bounded to availability impact only: no privilege escalation, no code execution, and no confidentiality or integrity loss. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Pacemaker Configuration System (PCS) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10 exposes an arbitrary file-read primitive to local members of the 'haclient' group via the `pcs host auth --token` command. The pcsd daemon reads the attacker-specified file path with root privileges, base64-encodes up to 256 bytes of content, and transmits it through cluster node communication channels the attacker controls - enabling exfiltration of short sensitive files such as API tokens, symmetric keys, or credential snippets that are otherwise inaccessible to the attacker. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only local access and group membership, making it a realistic insider-privilege escalation threat in multi-tenant HA environments.
Case-insensitive username comparisons in two code paths of the CUPS scheduler - printer ACL validation and private-attribute filtering - allow an authenticated adjacent-network attacker to bypass username-based access controls in configurations that rely on those ACLs. The bypass exposes private print attributes to users who should be excluded by ACL policy. Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, consistent with the low CVSS base score of 3.0.
Heap out-of-bounds read in CUPS's cupsUTF32ToUTF8() transcoding function exposes partial daemon heap memory to adjacent-network attackers without authentication. The vulnerable code path is reachable via SNMP supply-description parsing, meaning any attacker who can spoof or inject crafted SNMP responses on the same network segment as a CUPS host can trigger the read and potentially leak heap contents from the printing daemon. No active exploitation has been identified, and the adjacent-network attack vector significantly limits the exposure surface.
Symlink-following race condition in GLib2's g_file_replace() allows a local attacker with write access to the destination directory to redirect privileged file writes to arbitrary files. When the G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION flag is set and creation of the .goutputstream-XXXXXX temporary file fails, GLib2 unlinks the destination and then recreates it without O_EXCL (exclusive creation) or symlink-safe open semantics, opening a TOCTOU race window. An attacker who wins this race by placing a symlink at the destination path can cause any process using this code path - potentially running with elevated privileges - to overwrite files the attacker cannot directly modify. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Integer overflow in Corosync's membership commit token processing crashes the daemon on 32-bit cluster nodes, enabling a denial-of-service attack from any adjacent network host. The CWE-190 flaw causes the length validation to be bypassed on 32-bit systems where arithmetic wraps before the bounds check is applied, resulting in an out-of-bounds memory access that kills the Corosync process. Modern 64-bit deployments of the same packages are explicitly not affected, substantially narrowing real-world exposure despite the CVSS 6.5 rating; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.
Heap metadata corruption in the popt command-line parsing library's `poptConfigFileToString` function can be triggered by a local, low-privileged attacker who supplies specially crafted configuration file content to an affected host. Successful exploitation causes the consuming process to crash, resulting in denial of service. CVSS 2.5 (Low) reflects the strictly local, high-complexity exploitation path with no confidentiality or integrity impact; no public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) is known at time of analysis.
Out-of-bounds memory write in libsolv crashes RPM-based package manager tools (dnf, yum, zypper) when processing a corrupted or specially crafted .solv repository cache file. The root cause is an absent array-index bounds check on directory-id values read from compressed filelist data during .solv file rewriting - but because the out-of-bounds write stores only a fixed, non-attacker-controlled value, the vendor explicitly rules out arbitrary code execution, confining impact to denial of service. No public exploit has been identified and no active exploitation is confirmed; note that the 'RCE' metadata tag conflicts directly with the description and appears to be erroneous.
CRI-O's container-creation code path crashes the daemon with an unrecovered Go runtime panic when processing an OCI image whose config.Env contains a malformed entry lacking an '=' character, under the specific condition that the CreateContainer request supplies a nil CRI Envs field. The crash terminates the crio daemon process, disrupting all container workloads on the affected node until the service is manually restarted - a node-wide denial of service. Affecting Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, this requires high privileges (PR:H) to exploit; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Integer truncation in libsoup's SoupServer Range-header comparator silently drops byte ranges from HTTP 206 Partial Content responses when the target resource exceeds approximately 2 GB. The sort_ranges() function in soup-message-headers.c narrows a 64-bit offset subtraction to a 32-bit int return value, inverting the comparator sign whenever offsets differ by more than INT_MAX, causing incorrect range sorting and silent omission of content. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires network access to a SoupServer instance serving files larger than ~2 GB.
Denial of service in dnsmasq's DNSSEC validation code allows an attacker who operates any DNSSEC-signed authoritative zone to permanently hang the dnsmasq process with a single crafted DNS response, killing all DNS resolution for every client served by that instance. Affected deployments include dnsmasq as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the assigned CVSS score of 4.4 (Medium) carries a notable inconsistency between the stated local attack vector and the network-delivered attack mechanism described.
Use-After-Free vulnerabilities in the GNU linker (ld) component of binutils crash the linker process when processing crafted object or archive files during LTO-enabled linking on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. The flaws exist at three distinct dereference points in add_archive_element() in ld/ldmain.c, where plugin_maybe_claim() frees the BFD object but the caller retains dangling pointers that are subsequently accessed. The attack surface is confined to build-time environments, with the primary realistic threat being a supply chain attack introducing a malicious object file into CI/CD pipelines or developer build systems; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis.
Open redirect in the oauth-server component of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 allows a remote attacker to craft a malicious OAuth grant URL that, upon interaction by an authenticated user, silently redirects that user to an attacker-controlled site. The root cause is the absence of server-side validation on the 'then' parameter in the grant approval handler (CWE-601), making every OpenShift OAuth endpoint a potential phishing launcher. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; the CVSS 4.3 Medium score reflects the required user interaction as the primary limiting factor.
Integer overflow in p11-kit's RPC message parser on 32-bit systems allows a local attacker, or any principal with access to a reachable RPC channel, to crash the p11-kit process via a heap out-of-bounds write, resulting in Denial of Service. Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
SELinux label manipulation via TOCTOU race condition in the policycoreutils fixfiles script allows a local low-privileged attacker to corrupt SELinux mandatory access control labels on arbitrary system files, including security-critical targets such as /etc/shadow. The flaw affects fixfiles when run in relabel or restore mode across all supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases (6 through 10), Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is constrained by both a required race condition win and the need for an administrator to actively invoke fixfiles.
Header injection in openshift/oauth-proxy allows unauthenticated network attackers to impersonate arbitrary users on upstream applications by exploiting authentication-bypass paths. When skip-auth-regex rules are configured, the proxy forwards client-controlled identity headers (X-Forwarded-User, X-Forwarded-Email, X-Forwarded-Access-Token) to upstream services without stripping them, enabling forged identity claims. Affecting Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, this vulnerability is classified under CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity) with a CVSS 6.5 base score; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Persistent denial of service in libkcapi's AIO interface allows a local attacker to permanently hang an affected application thread by exploiting improper error-state handling in _kcapi_aio_read_all(). Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 - all environments where applications leverage libkcapi's asynchronous cryptographic operations. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the high attack complexity (AC:H) and local-only attack vector substantially limit real-world risk beyond targeted or insider-threat scenarios.
IV reuse in libkcapi's one-shot symmetric cipher operations allows a remote attacker to weaken data confidentiality for applications processing inputs larger than 64 KiB under stateful modes (CTR or CBC). Affected deployments include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified; the AV:N vector reflects an indirect attack path where an adversary induces a vulnerable application to process specially crafted oversized inputs, enabling ciphertext analysis to expose plaintext relationships or recover data.
Off-by-one memory corruption in popt's poptStuffArgs function allows a local low-privileged attacker to overwrite adjacent memory and potentially execute arbitrary code within any host application that unsafely processes the corrupted argument data. All supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases (6 through 10), Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4 ship the affected library. No public exploit code has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists; exploitation requires high-complexity triggering conditions, making this a routine patch priority rather than an emergency response item.
Uninitialized heap memory disclosure in SSSD's NSS responder exposes cached directory data and heap layout to local authenticated users on RHEL 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. The sss_nss_protocol_fill_initgr() function pre-allocates a reply buffer sized for all group entries but fails to shrink it when groups are skipped, causing uninitialized heap bytes to be included in the response transmitted back to the requesting client. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this is not listed in CISA KEV; however, leaked heap addresses may assist in chained attacks targeting ASLR bypass in sssd_nss.
GNU tar's incremental restore path contains a TOCTOU race condition in dumpdir 'X' rename handling, allowing a local attacker with write access to a backed-up directory to redirect file operations outside the intended extraction root during a privileged restore. Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary file creation, rename, or overwrite - enabling privilege escalation on systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and Red Hat Hardened Images. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing exists; the CVSS score of 4.4 reflects the constrained attack prerequisites including a required race window and administrator-initiated restore.
GNU tar's --one-top-level extraction mode fails to confine hardlink targets to the designated top-level directory, allowing a crafted archive to plant hardlinks that escape the intended extraction boundary. When combined with a preexisting symbolic link already present under the working directory, an attacker who can induce a victim to extract a malicious archive may read or write files outside the intended extraction scope on systems running affected RHEL versions (6 through 10) and Red Hat Hardened Images. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires both user interaction and a specific environmental pre-condition, keeping real-world risk moderate despite GNU tar's ubiquitous deployment.
Out-of-bounds read in SSSD's NSS responder allows a local user with standard privileges to crash the SSSD process by sending a crafted GETHOSTBYADDR request, causing system-wide denial of authentication and name resolution services. The vulnerable function `sss_nss_protocol_parse_addr()` fails to validate the `addrlen` field against the actual remaining packet body size, enabling heap over-read and process termination. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in Samba's Kerberos KDC password change (kpasswd) service allows authenticated remote attackers to crash the KDC process by submitting specially crafted, malformed ASN.1-encoded password change requests. The server miscalculates the structure size of the incoming request and reads up to six bytes beyond the end of the allocated buffer; when this read strikes unmapped memory, the KDC process terminates rather than simply failing gracefully. No public exploit has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists, but the disruption of a KDC in an Active Directory or Samba domain environment carries significant operational impact since authentication for the entire domain depends on KDC availability.
Authentication bypass in SSSD's OIDC/IdP provider allows an authenticated IdP user whose subject identifier is a strict lexical prefix of a target user's identifier to impersonate that target user on SSSD-protected Linux systems. The root cause is `eval_access_token_buf()` passing the attacker-controlled identifier's length to `strncmp()`, reducing an identity equality check to a prefix test. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases (6-10) and OpenShift Container Platform 4 are affected when SSSD is configured to use an OIDC-based identity provider; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Double-free memory corruption in libxml2's SAX parser Python bindings allows a remote attacker to crash Python applications by supplying XML documents with DTD-defined enumerated attribute values, triggering a use-after-free in the attributeDecl callback. The vulnerability (CWE-763) is confirmed by Red Hat and affects all major RHEL versions (6 through 10) as well as Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 and Hardened Images. While the confirmed impact is a reproducible denial of service, the Red Hat-provided CVSS vector (C:H/I:H/A:H with scope change) signals that Red Hat assesses the double-free as carrying latent code-execution potential beyond the confirmed crash. No public exploit and no KEV listing exist at time of analysis.
Heap buffer overflow in Corosync's Totem Process Group (totempg) message reassembly exposes high-availability clusters to network-adjacent unauthenticated attack. When processing fragmented multicast messages, the reassembly buffer lacks runtime bounds checking in release builds, allowing an attacker on the same cluster network to trigger heap corruption with attacker-controlled data. The confirmed impact is a daemon crash causing full cluster denial-of-service; the description explicitly acknowledges the potential for further exploitation - including possible code execution - contingent on heap layout control, though RCE remains unconfirmed at time of analysis. No public exploit or KEV listing identified.
Symlink traversal in util-linux's X-mount.subdir mount option allows a local unprivileged user with an fstab-authorized entry to redirect mount resolution to arbitrary host paths, achieving privilege escalation or container escape on Linux 6.15+ kernels. The root cause is that AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, passed to open_tree() in the detached-tree fast path, only blocks final-component symlinks - not intermediate path components - leaving an attacker who can plant a symlink in a middle directory able to substitute the intended subdirectory with any host path. Affected platforms include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7-10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege escalation in util-linux's SUID mount(8) binary exposes all major Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions (7-10), Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4 to root-level file ownership and permission manipulation by low-privileged local users. The flaw stems from a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race: mount(8) reads the bind-mount source from fstab but does not pin the resolved inode before issuing the privileged syscall, allowing an attacker with write access to the source path or a writable ancestor to substitute an arbitrary host directory. When fstab entries additionally specify X-mount.owner, X-mount.group, or X-mount.mode, root subsequently applies chown or chmod to the attacker-redirected path, completing the privilege escalation. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in util-linux's nsenter --join-cgroup option allows an unprivileged local user to move and terminate root-owned host processes by exploiting a persistent file descriptor opened as root that survives across namespace and credential changes. The kernel evaluates cgroup migration requests against the credentials held at fd-open time rather than the current caller's credentials, so any program that inherits the still-open cgroup.procs fd effectively retains root's cgroup management authority. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7-10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 are confirmed affected; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Quadratic-time CPU exhaustion in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4's OAuth login and error page endpoints allows unauthenticated remote attackers to deny authentication to all cluster users simultaneously. The attack exploits a bypass of the CVE-2022-32149 mitigation in golang.org/x/text/language.ParseAcceptLanguage(): the existing guard checks for hyphen ('-') character counts, but the BCP 47 scanner internally aliases underscore ('_') to '-' after the guard executes, allowing a crafted Accept-Language header with underscore subtag separators to slip through and trigger unbounded quadratic-time parsing. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though the bypass mechanism is fully documented in the CVE description, meaningfully lowering the bar to exploitation.
Incomplete remediation of CVE-2025-9615 in NetworkManager exposes WPA-Enterprise (802.1X) connections to server certificate validation bypass on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. An unprivileged local user can set the 802-1x.ca-path or phase2-ca-path properties of a private connection profile to an attacker-controlled directory because the private_user restriction was never applied to these directory-valued fields. When the victim system subsequently connects to a wireless network, the bypassed CA validation enables credential theft via a rogue access point presenting a certificate signed by the attacker-supplied CA. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV at time of analysis; however, SSVC rates the attack as automatable with total technical impact once local access exists.
Macro injection in rpmbuild's tarball mode allows arbitrary code execution on systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. When rpmbuild processes a tarball in tarball mode, specially crafted tar member names are interpreted as RPM macros, enabling an attacker who can distribute a malicious tarball to achieve full RCE in the context of the user running the build. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the social-engineering requirement is realistic in open-source build pipeline contexts where developers routinely fetch and build third-party source tarballs.
Confidential Containers isolation in Kata Containers can be subverted by a malicious host operator via insufficient path validation in genpolicy's CreateContainer mount and storage rule enforcement. Affected deployments include Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 running Kata Containers with genpolicy enabled for Confidential Containers guest protection. An operator-level attacker can mount arbitrary container-rootfs paths over sensitive host locations or inject attacker-controlled content into the guest, breaking the core confidentiality and integrity guarantees that Confidential Containers are designed to provide. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Privilege escalation in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management's multicloud-operators-subscription controller lets a low-privileged user on a managed cluster create a Subscription with crafted annotations that the controller processes with its own elevated Service Account, deploying attacker-chosen resources into arbitrary namespaces. The flaw (CWE-863, CVSS 9.9, scope-changed) affects Red Hat ACM 2.x and Multicluster Global Hub as reported by Red Hat. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Server-Side Request Forgery in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4's Dev Console webhook helpers allows authenticated users to coerce the console pod into issuing arbitrary outbound HTTP requests on their behalf. Because the console pod operates from a privileged network position within the cluster, this enables lateral movement to internal services - including the Kubernetes API server, metadata endpoints, and internal microservices - that would otherwise be unreachable from outside the cluster. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the Scope:Changed CVSS metric reflects the cross-boundary nature of the impact.
Server-Side Request Forgery in the OpenShift Console Helm catalog proxy allows low-privileged namespace tenants to plant a malicious ProjectHelmChartRepository resource pointing to an attacker-controlled URL, causing the console pod to issue server-side fetches that bypass tenant egress restrictions. Combined with Helm catalog metadata poisoning and subsequent admin-mediated chart installation, this multi-stage attack chain enables privilege escalation within the cluster. No CISA KEV listing or public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS Scope:Changed rating correctly reflects that the console pod's cross-boundary requests extend impact beyond the originating namespace.
Privilege escalation in the `openvt -u` utility allows a local low-privileged attacker to obtain passwordless root login on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. The flaw lies in `authenticate_user()`, which resolves VT ownership via `stat("/proc/<pid>/fd/0")` - a call that follows the symlink to the underlying TTY device node rather than inspecting the owning process, causing the check to read the device node's UID rather than the process owner's UID. When a privileged user logs out and TTY device node ownership reverts to root or the getty owner while an attacker's process still holds fd 0 on that TTY, the check incorrectly authorizes a passwordless `login -f root` execution. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV listing, but the root-level impact makes this a high priority for environments using the affected `kbrequest`/init deployment pattern.
Command injection in dracut's die() error-handling function allows an unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent network, controlling a rogue DHCP server, to execute arbitrary commands as root during initramfs boot-failure recovery. The flaw exists because error messages written into emergency hook shell scripts under the initramfs environment are not shell-quoted, and those messages can carry attacker-controlled data sourced from the DHCP ROOT_PATH option processed by the 40network module. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the exploitation primitive is conceptually straightforward for anyone with DHCP server control on the local network segment.
Memory corruption in libkcapi's one-shot asynchronous I/O path allows a local process to induce kernel writes into application-owned output buffers after an error return. Affected platforms include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. An unprivileged local attacker or a compromised application can exploit this use-after-free-class condition to crash the calling process (high availability impact) or corrupt buffer contents for limited confidentiality and integrity impact. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Out-of-bounds read in SSSD's PAM responder allows a local low-privileged attacker to crash the SSSD process and disclose sensitive memory contents by sending a crafted protocol v1 authentication request. Affected systems span all major Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases (6 through 10) and OpenShift Container Platform 4, representing a broad footprint in enterprise Linux environments. No active exploitation is confirmed (not listed in CISA KEV), and the EPSS score of 0.14% at the 3rd percentile reflects a very low observed exploitation probability at time of analysis.
Confidential Active Directory attribute disclosure in Samba's Active Directory Domain Controller allows an authenticated low-privilege domain user to read protected directory attributes by abusing how LDAP Compare requests are handled. Because Samba fails to validate user-supplied attribute names (LDAP filter injection, CWE-90) and runs the resulting internal search in a trusted context, normal ACL enforcement is bypassed; in gMSA-enabled deployments this permits extraction of msKds-RootKeyData and offline derivation of Group Managed Service Account passwords, which can escalate to full domain compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor patch is available.
Remote unauthenticated denial of service in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP), the system performance monitoring toolkit shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, allows an attacker to permanently disable a PCP daemon by triggering a signed integer overflow (CWE-190) in the __pmGetPDU() PDU-length handling routine. A crafted network packet sent during normal PDU processing or SASL authentication negotiation corrupts the read logic so that the daemon can no longer read any subsequent packets, requiring a manual restart. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw yields no code execution or data exposure - impact is availability-only (CVSS 7.5, A:H).
Remote unauthenticated access-control bypass in the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) pmproxy component lets attackers reach the /store endpoint and overwrite arbitrary PMDA (Performance Metrics Domain Agent) metric values, which the reporter (Red Hat) states can escalate to arbitrary code execution and full system takeover. The flaw affects PCP as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the network-reachable, no-authentication attack surface makes exposed pmproxy instances a meaningful risk.
Local privilege escalation in Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 arises from the linux_sockets module exposing an unsecured internal connection. An attacker who already holds low-level code execution on the host can leverage this leaked/unprotected socket to run arbitrary commands as root. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV, so exploitation would require an existing foothold rather than remote unauthenticated access.
Local privilege-relevant command injection in Performance Co-Pilot's (PCP) linux_sockets PMDA lets an authenticated user inject shell metacharacters through the network.persocket.filter metric, causing arbitrary commands to run as the PMDA user each time metrics refresh. Reported by Red Hat, it affects the pcp packages shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Out-of-bounds write in GNU binutils' BFD library (bfd/elf32-dlx.c) lets a crafted ELF/DLX object file corrupt memory and achieve arbitrary code execution when parsed by any BFD-consuming tool (objdump, readelf, strip, ld, nm, objcopy). Reported by Red Hat and tracked against RHEL 6-10, Hardened Images and OpenShift 4, the flaw is only reachable when binutils is compiled with the DLX backend (typically --enable-targets=all), so exposure is gated by a non-default build option. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis (not in CISA KEV), though the researcher demonstrated code execution via a File Stream Oriented Programming (FSOP) attack on glibc FILE structures.
Privilege escalation in CRIU allows a malicious container process to spoof credentials during checkpoint, resulting in elevated capabilities upon restore. On Red Hat platforms, effective exploitation is mitigated by mandatory access controls, user namespaces, and the requirement for privileged checkpoint initiation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Identity header smuggling in OpenShift Container Platform 4.x allows authenticated low-privilege users to escalate privileges by injecting forged identity headers that upstream applications may trust. The oauth-proxy fails to strip underscore-variant headers, enabling WSGI and PHP frameworks to normalize them into the legitimate identity, potentially overriding the true authenticated user. No known active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified.
Local privilege escalation to root in the QEMU Guest Agent (qga) affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, RHEL for NVIDIA 26, and OpenShift Container Platform 4, where a local unprivileged guest user abuses the guest-ssh-add-authorized-keys command handler through symlink manipulation to seize ownership of arbitrary root-owned files. Two attack variants exist - a deterministic directory-symlink bypass and a TOCTOU file-symlink race - both requiring an external management layer such as libvirt to invoke the code path. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the CVSS 7.3 rating and clean path to full root access make it a meaningful local escalation risk in multi-tenant virtualization estates.
Denial of service in libsolv's PGP signature verification (solv_pgpvrfy) allows remote attackers to crash automated package and repository processing by supplying a crafted Ed25519 signature. The flaw is a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) triggered when the EdDSA 's' MPI is copied into a fixed 64-byte stack buffer using an attacker-controlled mismatched length. It affects the libsolv dependency solver embedded in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/8/9/10, OpenShift, Satellite, RHUI, openSUSE/SUSE, Ubuntu and Debian; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV.
Out-of-bounds heap write in QEMU lets a local attacker operating inside a guest virtual machine corrupt memory in the host emulator process, enabling information disclosure, data-integrity corruption, or denial of service. The flaw stems from cpu_physical_memory_map() returning a shorter buffer length than the caller assumes, so subsequent writes spill past the allocation. Rated CVSS 7.8 (CWE-787); no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but multiple distributions (Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian) have shipped fixes.
Privilege escalation in CRI-O (the OCI container runtime used by Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 and many Kubernetes clusters) lets an attacker who can set container environment variables inject a newline into the HOME variable and append arbitrary lines to /etc/passwd, enabling creation of a rootful or otherwise privileged account inside the container. It is a bypass of the incomplete fix for CVE-2022-4318, whose HOME sanitization was insufficient. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation to root and Kerberos-based authentication bypass in SSSD's Active Directory GPO provider affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. Because ad_gpo_extract_smb_components() fails to sanitize '..' sequences in the gPCFileSysPath LDAP attribute (CWE-23), an actor holding AD GPO management rights can force an SSSD-enrolled host to write attacker-controlled files outside the GPO cache as root, injecting Kerberos configuration to bypass authentication. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local-to-domain-wide root privilege escalation in SSSD's LDAP sudo provider allows an authenticated LDAP directory user with write access to any subtree to inject a malicious sudoRole object and gain root-level sudo on every SSSD-enrolled host. The flaw exists because, when ldap_sudo_search_base is left unset, SSSD searches the entire directory tree for sudoRole objects, trusting rules planted anywhere in the DIT. Rated CVSS 8.8 by Red Hat and reported against RHEL 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in libarchive's RAR5 reader allows remote attackers to crash applications that decompress untrusted RAR5 archives via a double-free (CWE-415) of the stale filtered_buf pointer. Reported by Red Hat and affecting libarchive as shipped across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images, the flaw is triggered purely by parsing a malicious archive entry. No public exploit has been identified and the issue is not in CISA KEV; impact is limited to availability (CVSS 7.5, A:H only) with no code execution or data exposure claimed.
Credential theft in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform's Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO) allows adjacent-network attackers to intercept SSH sessions to Windows worker nodes and steal WICD and kubelet bootstrap credentials. WMCO fails to verify the remote SSH host key when configuring Windows nodes, enabling a man-in-the-middle attacker positioned on the cluster network to capture credentials sufficient to assume Windows node identities. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Privilege escalation in the Windows Machine Config Operator (WMCO) for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform allows a compromised Windows worker node holding WICD credentials to obtain a cluster-administrator client certificate. The WICD CSR auto-approver checks for the system:wicd-nodes organization but fails to reject additional organization values such as system:masters, enabling full cluster takeover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in the cifs-utils cifs.upcall helper allows low-privileged Linux users to gain root by abusing the kernel request_key interface to load a malicious NSS module inside an attacker-controlled mount namespace. The root-owned helper fails to drop privileges before performing user-name resolution, so the attacker's NSS module executes with full root capabilities. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug affects every supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux release (6 through 10) and OpenShift Container Platform 4, making it a high-priority hardening fix for any host with CIFS/SMB client functionality.
Root command injection in dracut's legacy DHCP path allows adjacent-network attackers to execute arbitrary commands inside the initramfs by sending crafted DHCP options (e.g., malicious hostname) that are written unescaped into temporary shell scripts. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4, granting full system compromise during early boot. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.16%, 36th percentile), but SSVC rates technical impact as total.
HAProxy configuration injection in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 allows a low-privileged tenant with permission to create or modify Route resources to inject controlled directives into the cluster ingress configuration via the spec.path field. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 8.8 score with scope change (S:C) reflects the ability to break out of the tenant boundary and impact the shared HAProxy router serving the entire cluster.
Authentication bypass in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 Router allows remote unauthenticated attackers to impersonate TLS client certificate identities by injecting X-SSL-Client-* headers over plain HTTP. The flaw affects Routes configured with insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy set to Allow, where the HTTP frontend fails to strip these trusted headers from inbound requests. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.03%), and CISA SSVC marks exploitation status as none with total technical impact.
Command injection in the rpmuncompress utility of RPM allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands when a victim extracts a maliciously crafted ZIP, 7z, or GEM archive whose top-level folder name contains shell metacharacters. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and downstream products including OpenShift Container Platform 4, Satellite 6, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Quarkus Native Builder. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue requires user interaction with an attacker-supplied archive, but successful exploitation yields full code execution under the extracting user's identity.
Certificate validation bypass in GnuTLS (as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images) lets a remote attacker defeat hostname verification: when a certificate carries an oversized Subject Alternative Name, the library incorrectly abandons SAN matching and falls back to the legacy Common Name field, accepting certificates it should reject. An attacker positioned to intercept traffic can present such a certificate to impersonate a trusted server and conduct spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks against TLS clients that rely on GnuTLS. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing, and no EPSS score in the provided data.
Improper certificate validation in GnuTLS (CWE-295) lets a remote attacker defeat TLS hostname verification by presenting a certificate that carries URI or SRV Subject Alternative Names, causing GnuTLS to incorrectly fall back to matching the connection's DNS hostname against the certificate's Common Name (CN) and enabling service spoofing or man-in-the-middle interception of sensitive data. The flaw was reported by Red Hat against GnuTLS as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images, and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 driven by high integrity impact. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; exploitation requires the victim to initiate a connection to attacker-controlled infrastructure (UI:R).
Information disclosure and denial of service in GnuTLS (libgnutls) let a remote, unauthenticated attacker trigger a heap overread against TLS servers that perform legacy RSA key exchange using a private key backed by a PKCS#11 token. By sending an abnormally short premaster secret, the attacker causes the library to read beyond an allocated buffer (CWE-1284), which can leak a small amount of adjacent heap memory and, per the CVSS vector, more strongly impacts availability (A:H). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV; EPSS and SSVC data were not provided.
Heap buffer overflow in libsolv allows local attackers to corrupt memory when a vulnerable application processes a maliciously crafted .solv repository metadata file. The flaw stems from insufficient input validation during decompression of attacker-controlled data, enabling information disclosure, control-flow alteration, or denial of service across multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases and SUSE distributions. SSVC marks exploitation as PoC-level with total technical impact, while EPSS remains very low at 0.01%, indicating limited probability of widespread exploitation despite high severity.
Remote code execution in Samba's printing subsystem allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands via crafted print job descriptions. The flaw stems from unescaped expansion of the client-controlled '%J' substitution token into the configured 'print command', enabling shell metacharacter injection. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS scores exploitation probability at only 0.08%, but CVSS 9.0 with scope change reflects high potential impact on any Samba host exposing print services.
Certificate validation in GnuTLS can be bypassed when a certificate chain contains Certificate Authorities with only excluded name constraints followed by CAs with permitted name constraints. Remote attackers can exploit this flaw (CVSS 7.4, AV:N/AC:H) to present invalid certificates that pass validation, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks or service impersonation against TLS-protected communications. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6-10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images. No public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, though the technical nature suggests targeted attacks against high-value certificate infrastructure are feasible.
Heap buffer overflow in GnuTLS DTLS handshake allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash applications or corrupt memory. The vulnerability stems from inconsistent fragment validation in merge_handshake_packet(), where attackers can send crafted DTLS fragments with conflicting message_length values to trigger out-of-bounds writes. Red Hat reported this affecting RHEL 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. CVSS 7.5 (High) reflects network-accessible denial of service, though memory corruption may enable further exploitation. No EPSS data, KEV status, or POC availability reported at time of analysis, but the remote unauthenticated attack vector (AV:N/PR:N) and low complexity (AC:L) make this a priority for systems using DTLS.
Out-of-bounds read in the GnuTLS DTLS handshake reassembly logic lets remote unauthenticated attackers trigger an integer underflow by sending malformed handshake fragments with zero length and a non-zero offset, enabling information disclosure or denial of service against Red Hat-shipped GnuTLS (RHEL 6 through 10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images). Reported by Red Hat with a vendor patch available and errata released; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.04%, 11th percentile) with SSVC exploitation status 'none'. CVSS 9.1 reflects high confidentiality and availability impact over the network at low complexity without authentication.
Certificate name-constraints bypass in GnuTLS allows a remote attacker to craft a leaf certificate whose Subject Alternative Name differs only in letter casing from a constrained dNSName or rfc822Name, causing GnuTLS to accept a certificate that its excludedSubtrees/permittedSubtrees policy should reject. The flaw stems from case-sensitive comparison of name-constraint labels and enables unauthorized access, impersonation, or information disclosure across software (notably Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4) that relies on GnuTLS for X.509 validation. SSVC notes a public proof-of-concept exists, though EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.03%, 9th percentile) and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in libxml2 allows a remote attacker to crash any application that uses the library to XSD-validate an attacker-supplied XML document containing an internal entity reference. The flaw is a CWE-843 type confusion triggered during schema validation, affecting a wide range of Red Hat products that ship libxml2. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.01%, 3rd percentile), consistent with SSVC exploitation status of 'none'.
Heap buffer overflow in GNU Binutils XCOFF linker allows arbitrary code execution when a local user processes a malicious object file. Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 are confirmed affected via CPE data. CVSS 7.8 reflects local attack vector requiring user interaction (opening/linking the crafted file). No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and no public proof-of-concept identified at time of analysis. Real-world risk depends heavily on whether development workflows involve linking untrusted XCOFF files, which is uncommon outside AIX/PowerPC cross-compilation scenarios.
Out-of-bounds write in dnsmasq's DHCP split-relay handler allows remote unauthenticated denial of service via crafted BOOTREPLY packets. Affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 when dnsmasq runs with the --dhcp-split-relay option enabled. CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates trivial network exploitation, but real-world risk is mitigated by the non-default configuration requirement. No public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) confirmed at time of analysis, though CWE-787 (out-of-bounds write) primitives are well-understood by attackers.
Remote unauthenticated attackers can crash GnuTLS servers by sending malformed TLS handshake messages containing invalid Pre-Shared Key binder values, triggering a NULL pointer dereference. Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6-10, OpenShift Container Platform 4, and Red Hat Hardened Images are affected. Vendor patches are available. EPSS score of 0.08% (24th percentile) suggests low current exploitation probability despite network-accessible attack vector. SSVC framework classifies this as automatable with partial technical impact but no known exploitation, making this a medium-priority patching target focused on preventing service disruption rather than data breach.
Local privilege escalation in libcap's cap_set_file() function affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, where a TOCTOU race condition allows an unprivileged user with write access to a parent directory to redirect file capability updates onto an attacker-controlled file. Successful exploitation can inject or strip Linux file capabilities on arbitrary executables, yielding full privilege escalation on the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is 0.01%, but a vendor patch is available.
Remote denial of service via integer overflow in Corosync cluster engine affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. Unauthenticated attackers can send crafted UDP packets to crash Corosync services running in totemudp/totemudpu mode (CVSS 7.5, AV:N/PR:N). EPSS data not provided; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Impacts high-availability cluster deployments where Corosync provides quorum and messaging services.
Out-of-bounds read in Corosync allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash cluster nodes and potentially leak memory via malformed UDP packets. Affects default totemudp/totemudpu configurations across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/8/9/10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. CVSS 8.2 (High) with network attack vector, low complexity, and no authentication required. EPSS and exploitation status data not available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Impacts high-availability clustering infrastructure commonly used in enterprise production environments.
Remote code execution in libarchive on 32-bit systems allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted ISO9660 images. The vulnerability affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, with vendor patches released across multiple RHSA advisories. Despite the CVSS 7.5 score and network attack vector, EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.05%, 16th percentile) and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, though SSVC classifies the vulnerability as automatable with total technical impact.
Remote denial-of-service in libssh 0.11.x and earlier allows unauthenticated attackers to crash SSH server daemon processes via malformed GSSAPI authentication OID payloads. The vulnerability affects the ssh_get_hexa() API function when processing zero-length input, exploitable remotely when GSSAPI authentication is enabled and logging verbosity is set to SSH_LOG_PATCH (level 3) or higher. Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, and Debian have released patches (libssh 0.11.4 and 0.12.0). EPSS score of 0.09% and SSVC assessment indicate low real-world exploitation likelihood despite network attack vector, with no active exploitation confirmed. Ubuntu classified this as low priority, and CISA SSVC notes exploitation as 'none' but 'automatable' with partial impact.
Denial of service in p11-kit's PKCS#11 RPC client allows a malicious remote token to trigger a NULL pointer dereference or undefined behavior in applications consuming derive-key operations. The flaw is reachable when an application calls C_DeriveKey against a remote token using IBM Kyber or IBM BTC derive mechanisms whose parameters are NULL, with the RPC client returning an uninitialized value. EPSS is low (0.10%) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; SSVC marks exploitation as none but automatable.
The antchfx/xpath component in Debian is vulnerable to denial of service when processing specially crafted Boolean XPath expressions, which trigger an infinite loop in the logicalQuery.Select function consuming 100% CPU resources. Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this over the network without user interaction to disable affected systems. No patch is currently available.
Heap memory disclosure in libarchive allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive heap data by submitting a malformed RAR archive. The flaw affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4, with vendor patches available per multiple RHSA advisories (RHSA-2026:8492 through RHSA-2026:8908). Despite the HIGH CVSS score of 7.5 and network-exploitable vector requiring no authentication, the EPSS score of 0.14% (35th percentile) indicates low observed exploitation probability. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting this remains a patch-and-monitor priority rather than emergency response.
Information disclosure and denial-of-service in GNU Binutils' BFD linker (ld) arises from an out-of-bounds heap read when parsing malformed XCOFF object files. A local attacker who convinces a user to link or otherwise process a specially crafted XCOFF file can leak adjacent heap memory (CWE-125) or crash the linking process. Tracked by Red Hat across RHEL 6 through 10 and OpenShift 4; no public exploit is identified and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.01%, 2nd percentile).
Out-of-bounds heap read in the BFD linker (ld) component of GNU Binutils allows information disclosure or an application-level crash when a victim is induced to process a crafted XCOFF object file. Affected across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 (and OpenShift Container Platform 4), exploitation requires user interaction and local file processing - there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is negligible (0.01%, 2nd percentile).
Infinite loop in libarchive's RAR5 decompression (archive_read_data) allows remote unauthenticated denial-of-service via malformed archive that passes checksum validation. Affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. EPSS 0.04% (11th percentile) suggests low exploitation probability despite CVSS 7.5. Vendor patches available from Red Hat and Ubuntu. Upstream fix in libarchive PR#2877. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV).
A path-handling flaw in the containers/storage Go library lets a crafted tar archive containing a malicious whiteout entry (for example 'victim/.wh.') cause UnpackLayer, ApplyLayer, or ApplyUncompressedLayer to replace the extraction destination directory with an arbitrary file. Systems that unpack container image layers with this library — notably Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2, OpenShift Container Platform 4, Quay 3, OpenShift Virtualization, Dev Spaces, and Red Hat Hardened Images — are in scope. Exploitation requires the operator or process to unpack an attacker-supplied archive, and the integrity impact is confined to the local extraction target; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, consistent with the modest CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4.
Symlink-based path traversal in the buildah/copier Go package allows a crafted tar archive to create files outside the intended extraction directory when the library is used outside of Buildah by a non-root caller. Buildah's own extraction path applies chroot hardening and is explicitly not affected, so real exposure sits with downstream consumers of the package - including Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 in the published CPE data, plus other tagged Red Hat products - that unpack untrusted archives with it. Impact is integrity-only (no confidentiality or availability component in the assessed vector), the victim application must actually process the malicious archive (UI:R), EPSS is low at 0.25% (16th percentile), CISA's SSVC records exploitation as none and automatable as no, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
An out-of-bounds read in the SSSD NSS responder allows any local user who can reach the responder's UNIX socket to crash the process by sending a specially crafted service lookup request, degrading local name/service resolution on the host. Only SSSD deployments shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 nodes are listed as affected by the vendor CPE data, and the flaw requires local socket access rather than network reach. There is no public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing; SSVC records exploitation as 'none' and the issue carries a modest CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.0 (availability impact only).
Denial of service in multipathd allows a local attacker with access to the UNIX control socket to permanently block the daemon's listener thread by sending valid commands and then refusing to read the replies. This renders legitimate IPC operations - such as multipath path queries and storage management commands - unable to complete until the daemon is restarted. Red Hat, the reporting source, explicitly confirms the issue is bounded to availability impact only: no privilege escalation, no code execution, and no confidentiality or integrity loss. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Pacemaker Configuration System (PCS) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10 exposes an arbitrary file-read primitive to local members of the 'haclient' group via the `pcs host auth --token` command. The pcsd daemon reads the attacker-specified file path with root privileges, base64-encodes up to 256 bytes of content, and transmits it through cluster node communication channels the attacker controls - enabling exfiltration of short sensitive files such as API tokens, symmetric keys, or credential snippets that are otherwise inaccessible to the attacker. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only local access and group membership, making it a realistic insider-privilege escalation threat in multi-tenant HA environments.
Case-insensitive username comparisons in two code paths of the CUPS scheduler - printer ACL validation and private-attribute filtering - allow an authenticated adjacent-network attacker to bypass username-based access controls in configurations that rely on those ACLs. The bypass exposes private print attributes to users who should be excluded by ACL policy. Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, consistent with the low CVSS base score of 3.0.
Heap out-of-bounds read in CUPS's cupsUTF32ToUTF8() transcoding function exposes partial daemon heap memory to adjacent-network attackers without authentication. The vulnerable code path is reachable via SNMP supply-description parsing, meaning any attacker who can spoof or inject crafted SNMP responses on the same network segment as a CUPS host can trigger the read and potentially leak heap contents from the printing daemon. No active exploitation has been identified, and the adjacent-network attack vector significantly limits the exposure surface.
Symlink-following race condition in GLib2's g_file_replace() allows a local attacker with write access to the destination directory to redirect privileged file writes to arbitrary files. When the G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION flag is set and creation of the .goutputstream-XXXXXX temporary file fails, GLib2 unlinks the destination and then recreates it without O_EXCL (exclusive creation) or symlink-safe open semantics, opening a TOCTOU race window. An attacker who wins this race by placing a symlink at the destination path can cause any process using this code path - potentially running with elevated privileges - to overwrite files the attacker cannot directly modify. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Integer overflow in Corosync's membership commit token processing crashes the daemon on 32-bit cluster nodes, enabling a denial-of-service attack from any adjacent network host. The CWE-190 flaw causes the length validation to be bypassed on 32-bit systems where arithmetic wraps before the bounds check is applied, resulting in an out-of-bounds memory access that kills the Corosync process. Modern 64-bit deployments of the same packages are explicitly not affected, substantially narrowing real-world exposure despite the CVSS 6.5 rating; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.
Heap metadata corruption in the popt command-line parsing library's `poptConfigFileToString` function can be triggered by a local, low-privileged attacker who supplies specially crafted configuration file content to an affected host. Successful exploitation causes the consuming process to crash, resulting in denial of service. CVSS 2.5 (Low) reflects the strictly local, high-complexity exploitation path with no confidentiality or integrity impact; no public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) is known at time of analysis.
Out-of-bounds memory write in libsolv crashes RPM-based package manager tools (dnf, yum, zypper) when processing a corrupted or specially crafted .solv repository cache file. The root cause is an absent array-index bounds check on directory-id values read from compressed filelist data during .solv file rewriting - but because the out-of-bounds write stores only a fixed, non-attacker-controlled value, the vendor explicitly rules out arbitrary code execution, confining impact to denial of service. No public exploit has been identified and no active exploitation is confirmed; note that the 'RCE' metadata tag conflicts directly with the description and appears to be erroneous.
CRI-O's container-creation code path crashes the daemon with an unrecovered Go runtime panic when processing an OCI image whose config.Env contains a malformed entry lacking an '=' character, under the specific condition that the CreateContainer request supplies a nil CRI Envs field. The crash terminates the crio daemon process, disrupting all container workloads on the affected node until the service is manually restarted - a node-wide denial of service. Affecting Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, this requires high privileges (PR:H) to exploit; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Integer truncation in libsoup's SoupServer Range-header comparator silently drops byte ranges from HTTP 206 Partial Content responses when the target resource exceeds approximately 2 GB. The sort_ranges() function in soup-message-headers.c narrows a 64-bit offset subtraction to a 32-bit int return value, inverting the comparator sign whenever offsets differ by more than INT_MAX, causing incorrect range sorting and silent omission of content. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires network access to a SoupServer instance serving files larger than ~2 GB.
Denial of service in dnsmasq's DNSSEC validation code allows an attacker who operates any DNSSEC-signed authoritative zone to permanently hang the dnsmasq process with a single crafted DNS response, killing all DNS resolution for every client served by that instance. Affected deployments include dnsmasq as packaged in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the assigned CVSS score of 4.4 (Medium) carries a notable inconsistency between the stated local attack vector and the network-delivered attack mechanism described.
Use-After-Free vulnerabilities in the GNU linker (ld) component of binutils crash the linker process when processing crafted object or archive files during LTO-enabled linking on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. The flaws exist at three distinct dereference points in add_archive_element() in ld/ldmain.c, where plugin_maybe_claim() frees the BFD object but the caller retains dangling pointers that are subsequently accessed. The attack surface is confined to build-time environments, with the primary realistic threat being a supply chain attack introducing a malicious object file into CI/CD pipelines or developer build systems; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis.
Open redirect in the oauth-server component of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 allows a remote attacker to craft a malicious OAuth grant URL that, upon interaction by an authenticated user, silently redirects that user to an attacker-controlled site. The root cause is the absence of server-side validation on the 'then' parameter in the grant approval handler (CWE-601), making every OpenShift OAuth endpoint a potential phishing launcher. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; the CVSS 4.3 Medium score reflects the required user interaction as the primary limiting factor.
Integer overflow in p11-kit's RPC message parser on 32-bit systems allows a local attacker, or any principal with access to a reachable RPC channel, to crash the p11-kit process via a heap out-of-bounds write, resulting in Denial of Service. Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
SELinux label manipulation via TOCTOU race condition in the policycoreutils fixfiles script allows a local low-privileged attacker to corrupt SELinux mandatory access control labels on arbitrary system files, including security-critical targets such as /etc/shadow. The flaw affects fixfiles when run in relabel or restore mode across all supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases (6 through 10), Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is constrained by both a required race condition win and the need for an administrator to actively invoke fixfiles.
Header injection in openshift/oauth-proxy allows unauthenticated network attackers to impersonate arbitrary users on upstream applications by exploiting authentication-bypass paths. When skip-auth-regex rules are configured, the proxy forwards client-controlled identity headers (X-Forwarded-User, X-Forwarded-Email, X-Forwarded-Access-Token) to upstream services without stripping them, enabling forged identity claims. Affecting Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, this vulnerability is classified under CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity) with a CVSS 6.5 base score; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Persistent denial of service in libkcapi's AIO interface allows a local attacker to permanently hang an affected application thread by exploiting improper error-state handling in _kcapi_aio_read_all(). Affected deployments span Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 - all environments where applications leverage libkcapi's asynchronous cryptographic operations. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the high attack complexity (AC:H) and local-only attack vector substantially limit real-world risk beyond targeted or insider-threat scenarios.
IV reuse in libkcapi's one-shot symmetric cipher operations allows a remote attacker to weaken data confidentiality for applications processing inputs larger than 64 KiB under stateful modes (CTR or CBC). Affected deployments include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, 9, and 10, Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified; the AV:N vector reflects an indirect attack path where an adversary induces a vulnerable application to process specially crafted oversized inputs, enabling ciphertext analysis to expose plaintext relationships or recover data.
Off-by-one memory corruption in popt's poptStuffArgs function allows a local low-privileged attacker to overwrite adjacent memory and potentially execute arbitrary code within any host application that unsafely processes the corrupted argument data. All supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases (6 through 10), Red Hat Hardened Images, and OpenShift Container Platform 4 ship the affected library. No public exploit code has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists; exploitation requires high-complexity triggering conditions, making this a routine patch priority rather than an emergency response item.
Uninitialized heap memory disclosure in SSSD's NSS responder exposes cached directory data and heap layout to local authenticated users on RHEL 6 through 10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4. The sss_nss_protocol_fill_initgr() function pre-allocates a reply buffer sized for all group entries but fails to shrink it when groups are skipped, causing uninitialized heap bytes to be included in the response transmitted back to the requesting client. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this is not listed in CISA KEV; however, leaked heap addresses may assist in chained attacks targeting ASLR bypass in sssd_nss.
GNU tar's incremental restore path contains a TOCTOU race condition in dumpdir 'X' rename handling, allowing a local attacker with write access to a backed-up directory to redirect file operations outside the intended extraction root during a privileged restore. Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary file creation, rename, or overwrite - enabling privilege escalation on systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 10 and Red Hat Hardened Images. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing exists; the CVSS score of 4.4 reflects the constrained attack prerequisites including a required race window and administrator-initiated restore.
GNU tar's --one-top-level extraction mode fails to confine hardlink targets to the designated top-level directory, allowing a crafted archive to plant hardlinks that escape the intended extraction boundary. When combined with a preexisting symbolic link already present under the working directory, an attacker who can induce a victim to extract a malicious archive may read or write files outside the intended extraction scope on systems running affected RHEL versions (6 through 10) and Red Hat Hardened Images. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires both user interaction and a specific environmental pre-condition, keeping real-world risk moderate despite GNU tar's ubiquitous deployment.
Out-of-bounds read in SSSD's NSS responder allows a local user with standard privileges to crash the SSSD process by sending a crafted GETHOSTBYADDR request, causing system-wide denial of authentication and name resolution services. The vulnerable function `sss_nss_protocol_parse_addr()` fails to validate the `addrlen` field against the actual remaining packet body size, enabling heap over-read and process termination. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
Denial of service in Samba's Kerberos KDC password change (kpasswd) service allows authenticated remote attackers to crash the KDC process by submitting specially crafted, malformed ASN.1-encoded password change requests. The server miscalculates the structure size of the incoming request and reads up to six bytes beyond the end of the allocated buffer; when this read strikes unmapped memory, the KDC process terminates rather than simply failing gracefully. No public exploit has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists, but the disruption of a KDC in an Active Directory or Samba domain environment carries significant operational impact since authentication for the entire domain depends on KDC availability.
