Low [CVE-2026-56369] Information disclosure due to AES-CTR nonce reuse
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-22 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the PasskeyEncipherImage method due to AES-CTR nonce reuse. Attackers can exploit nonce reuse in the cipher implementation to recover plaintext information from encrypted images. A vulnerability has been identified in ImageMagick, a software tool used to create, edit, and convert image files. This flaw allows a remote attacker to potentially decrypt and view images that were supposed to be securely encrypted by the software, leading to an unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data. Exploitation requires an attacker to specifically target encrypted images processed by this method, which is not a common default configuration in Red Hat environments. The vulnerability primarily affects applications utilizing the `PasskeyEncipherImage` function, potentially through bindings like Magick.NET. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 3.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-323. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Low [CVE-2026-55276] Misleading security logs due to incorrect control flow
Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat meant that special roles and empty authorisation constraints were not included when the effective web.xml was logged. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.22, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.55, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.118, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.100. Other versions that have reached end of support may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.23, 10.1.56 or 9.0.119 which fixes the issue. This could lead to a security oversight where administrators might misinterpret the actual authorization constraints, potentially impacting the security posture of the application. When the effective web.xml logging feature is enabled for debugging, special roles and empty authorization constraints may be omitted from the logged output. This is a logging-only issue with no runtime security impact — it only affects the accuracy of debug log output for administrators reviewing the effective web.xml configuration. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 2.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). Weakness: CWE-778. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat JBoss Web Server 7.0 on RHEL 10; Red Hat JBoss Web Server 7.0 on RHEL 8; Red Hat JBoss Web Server 7.0 on RHEL 9; Red Hat Hardened Images; and 10 more.
Low [CVE-2026-53434] Error condition not handled when configuring CRLs
Detection of Error Condition Without Action vulnerability in Apache Tomcat when configuring CRLs for a FFM based connector. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.22, from 10.1.0-M7 through 10.1.55, from 9.0.83 through 9.0.118. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.23, 10.1.56 or 9.0.119, which fixes the issue. When configuring Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) for a FFM (presumably a specific type of connector), the system fails to detect and act upon an error condition. This oversight could lead to unexpected behavior or a security bypass, as the intended security controls might not be properly enforced. When using the FFM-based connector with CRL-based certificate revocation checking, an error in CRL data processing is not handled correctly, potentially allowing revoked certificates to be accepted. This only affects Tomcat 10.1.0-M7+ and 11.x using the FFM connector (Java 22+ Foreign Function & Memory API) with CRL configuration — an extremely narrow set of conditions not present in standard Red Hat deployments. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 3.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). Weakness: CWE-390. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat JBoss Web Server 7.0 on RHEL 10; Red Hat JBoss Web Server 7.0 on RHEL 8; Red Hat JBoss Web Server 7.0 on RHEL 9; Red Hat Hardened Images; and 10 more.

Low [CVE-2026-57062] Incorrect cryptographic message parsing
CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax) parsing in gpgsm in GnuPG through 2.5.20 mishandles the CMS format for AES-GCM because aes-ICVlen is supposed to be 12 bytes but 4 bytes is accepted. NOTE: this is related to CVE-2026-34182. By accepting an authentication tag length of 4 bytes instead of the required 12 bytes, this vulnerability allows for a low-impact data integrity issue where the cryptographic validity of messages could be compromised. A Low-impact flaw in GnuPG's gpgsm component accepts an incorrect AES-GCM authentication tag length in CMS messages. This compromises cryptographic data integrity, though confidentiality and availability are unaffected. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 2.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat Hardened Images. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.

Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: imagemagick.
Low [CVE-2026-55654] Heap out-of-bounds read in Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions of OpenSSH GSSAPI indicator cleanup due to missing NULL sentinel termination
A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability, a heap out-of-bounds read, occurs during the cleanup of GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface) indicators when a trailing NULL termination is missing in the auth-indicators array. A remote attacker, under specific configurations involving GSSAPI authentication and a Kerberos environment, could exploit this to cause the SSH authentication path to crash or abort. This leads to a denial of service (DoS), impacting the availability of the SSH service. This flaw is rated Low. A heap out-of-bounds read in OpenSSH's GSSAPI authentication component can lead to a denial of service. Exploitation requires `GSSAPIAuthentication` to be explicitly enabled, which is not the default configuration in Red Hat products, and a Kerberos environment providing authenticated `auth-indicators`. The impact is limited to the availability of the SSH authentication process. This vulnerability doesn't affect the upstream OpenSSH versions and is restricted to the versions as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 3.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L). Weakness: CWE-125. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat Hardened Images; Red Hat Update Infrastructure 5; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.
Low [CVE-2026-11525] Weakening of cookie SameSite policy due to incorrect parsing of Set-Cookie header
Impact: When undici parses a Set-Cookie header, it accepts any SameSite attribute value that contains Strict, Lax, or None as a substring, rather than the case-insensitive exact match specified by RFC 6265. Non-spec values are silently mapped to one of the three standard tokens. For example, SameSite=NoneOfYourBusiness is parsed as None (the most permissive setting), and SameSite=StrictLax is parsed as Lax (a downgrade from Strict). Affected applications are those that consume Set-Cookie headers from server responses (for example via undici's fetch or proxy code paths) and then forward or rely on the parsed sameSite attribute. A malicious or non-compliant server can coerce the consumer's view of a cookie's SameSite policy to a weaker value, silently degrading the SameSite enforcement the cookie is supposed to provide. This was introduced in undici 5.15.0 when the cookies feature was added. Patches: Upgrade to undici v6.26.0, v7.28.0 or v8.5.0. When undici processes Set-Cookie headers, it incorrectly interprets the SameSite attribute, accepting partial matches instead of exact ones. This allows a malicious server to downgrade a cookie's SameSite policy to a less secure setting, potentially leading to unintended information disclosure or a weakening of security protections for the user.
Low [CVE-2026-6733] Response queue poisoning on reused keep-alive sockets can lead to incorrect response delivery.
Impact: Undici's HTTP/1.1 client is vulnerable to response queue poisoning on reused keep-alive sockets. An attacker-controlled upstream server can inject an unsolicited HTTP/1.1 response onto an idle socket after a request completes. When the client dispatches the next request on that socket, it associates the injected response with the new request, causing responses to be delivered to the wrong requests. This requires an attacker-controlled or compromised upstream HTTP/1.1 server and keep-alive connection reuse. Patches: Upgrade to undici v6.26.0, v7.28.0 or v8.5.0. Workarounds: Disable keep-alive connection reuse by setting keepAliveTimeout: 0 on the Client or Pool. A flaw was found in undici. This could result in a low impact on data integrity. This can lead to incorrect response delivery, potentially impacting data integrity, but requires a compromised server and active keep-alive connections. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 3.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). Weakness: CWE-940. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat Hardened Images; and 12 more.
