High [CVE-2026-59939] Denial of Service via unbounded decompression of HTTP response bodies

httplib2 is a comprehensive HTTP client library for Python. Prior to 0.32.0, httplib2 performs unbounded decompression of HTTP response bodies encoded with Content-Encoding: gzip or deflate in _decompressContent in httplib2/init.py, allowing a malicious or compromised HTTP server to return a small compressed payload that expands to an arbitrarily large size in memory and causes MemoryError or OOM-kill in the client process. This issue is fixed in version 0.32.0. This unbounded decompression can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by causing the client application to run out of memory and crash. This Important vulnerability in `httplib2` allows a remote attacker to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) in client applications. By sending a specially crafted, compressed HTTP response, a malicious server can cause the client to exhaust its memory due to unbounded decompression, leading to application crashes. This poses a significant risk to Red Hat products that use `httplib2` to process untrusted HTTP content. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-409.

High [CVE-2026-59820] Directory traversal via crafted skill archive upload

LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.83.7-stable, LiteLLM Skills archive extraction did not sufficiently validate file paths from uploaded skill ZIP archives, allowing an authenticated user with access to LiteLLM LLM API routes or a key whose allowed_routes includes /v1/skills, anthropic_routes, or llm_api_routes to upload a crafted skill archive containing path traversal entries that could be written outside the intended extraction or staging directory. This issue is fixed in version 1.83.7-stable. A flaw was found in LiteLLM, a proxy server for Large Language Model (LLM) APIs. This vulnerability could lead to arbitrary file creation or modification, potentially resulting in system compromise. Exploitation requires the LiteLLM Proxy Server's Skills API (/v1/skills, anthropic_routes, or llm_api_routes) to be enabled and reachable by an authenticated caller. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 8.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-22. Affected Red Hat products: Exploit Intelligence. Red Hat lists Lightspeed Core; Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2; Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) as not affected. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.

High [CVE-2026-59821] Arbitrary code execution and information disclosure via custom code guardrails

LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.82.0-stable, LiteLLM's Custom Code Guardrails production create and update paths did not apply the same sandboxing and validation used by the test endpoint, allowing a privileged user with access to create or update guardrails to submit custom Python code that executed in the LiteLLM proxy environment and could expose secrets available to the process. This issue is fixed in version 1.82.0-stable. A flaw was found in LiteLLM, a proxy server for Large Language Model (LLM) APIs. The flaw allowed the user to submit custom Python code that would execute within the LiteLLM proxy environment, potentially exposing sensitive information or secrets accessible to the process. Red Hat rates this flaw with higher severity than the upstream GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-72m8-9m7m-h278, CVSS v4.0 2.1, Low). Red Hat scored this CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (7.2, Important) because a successful exploit grants arbitrary Python code execution within the LiteLLM proxy process, resulting in full compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of that component, including exposure of any secrets accessible to the process.

High [CVE-2026-14362] HashiCorp memberlist: Denial of Service via push/pull state handling

HashiCorp memberlist before version 0.6.0 is vulnerable to a denial-of-service issue in its push/pull state handling that may allow an attacker with network access to the gossip port to exhaust memory on a receiving node and cause the process to terminate. This vulnerability (CVE-2026-14362) is fixed in memberlist 0.6.0. This flaw results in a Denial of Service (DoS). Only Red Hat products that run the affected component as a live memberlist gossip agent (a process that binds and listens on a UDP/TCP gossip port for cluster membership) are exposed to this denial-of-service issue. Products that pull in github.com/hashicorp/memberlist only as a transitive Go dependency, without starting a gossip listener, do not exercise the vulnerable push/pull state-handling code path and are not affected. Grafana links github.com/hashicorp/memberlist solely for its optional unified-alerting high-availability (HA) clustering feature; the gossip listener only starts when unified_alerting.ha_peers (plus ha_listen_address/ha_advertise_address) is explicitly configured. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes ships its acm-grafana component with unified alerting disabled by default (unified_alerting.enabled = false) and never sets ha_peers, so it never starts the gossip listener and does not exercise the vulnerable code path; it is not affected.

High [CVE-2026-59892] @opentelemetry/propagator-jaeger: OpenTelemetry JavaScript: Denial of Service via malformed HTTP header decoding

OpenTelemetry JavaScript is the OpenTelemetry JavaScript client. Prior to 2.9.0, @opentelemetry/propagator-jaeger decodes incoming uber-trace-id and uberctx-* HTTP header values with decodeURIComponent() without handling decode errors, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to send a malformed percent-encoded value that throws an uncaught URIError and terminates a Node.js process using JaegerPropagator as the active propagator. This issue is fixed in version 2.9.0. Successful exploitation of this flaw can terminate a Node.js process, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). This flaw affects the @opentelemetry/propagator-jaeger package used by container images that configure the Jaeger trace-context propagator. Red Hat CVSS score (7.5, Important) is consistent with upstream and NVD scoring. Weakness: CWE-248. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Developer Hub 1.10; Red Hat Developer Hub 1.9; Self-service automation portal 2. Red Hat lists OpenShift Serverless as not affected.

High [CVE-2026-39822] Go os.Root: Symlink following vulnerability allows directory traversal

On Unix systems, opening a file in an os.Root improperly follows symlinks to locations outside of the Root when the final path component of the a path is a symbolic link and the path ends in /. For example, 'root. Open("symlink/")' will open "symlink" even when "symlink" is a symbolic link pointing outside of the root. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass intended directory restrictions by crafting a path that ends with a symbolic link and a trailing slash. When a file is opened in `os.Root` with such a path, the symbolic link is improperly followed, potentially leading to access to locations outside of the defined root directory. This could result in information disclosure or unauthorized file system access. A flaw was found in Go's os.Root implementation. This is because `openat()` with `O_NOFOLLOW` does not prevent symlink resolution when the path has a trailing /. An attacker able to create symlinks within an os.Root directory could use this to read or write files outside the intended root. Go versions prior to 1.24 are not affected. This issue is fixed in Go 1.25.12 and Go 1.26.5. The following symbols are affected: * `OpenInRoot`: Opens a file or directory within an `os.Root`. * `Root. Create`: Creates a file inside an `os.Root`. * `Root. Open`: Opens a path relative to an `os.Root`. * `Root.

High [CVE-2026-59877] Denial of Service via crafted.proto schema

protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.6.5 and 8.6.6, protobufjs parsed option names by advancing through schema tokens until reaching an = token without checking for end of input, so a crafted.proto schema that opens an option declaration and ends prematurely can cause parse, Root.load, or Root.loadSync to loop indefinitely. This issue is fixed in versions 7.6.5 and 8.6.6. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted.proto schema. This leads to a Denial of Service (DoS), making the affected system unresponsive. The `protobufjs` library, used in Red Hat products, is susceptible to a Denial of Service when processing a specially crafted `.proto` schema. This is considered Important due to the potential for significant disruption to services that handle external protobuf definitions. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-835.

High [CVE-2026-59874] Denial of Service via malformed tar archive header

node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.18, tar.replace accepts a checksum-valid tar header with a negative base-256 encoded entry size, causing the archive scanner to make no progress while repeatedly parsing the same header. This issue is fixed in version 7.5.18. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted tar archive with a negative entry size in its header. This malformed header causes the archive scanner to enter an infinite loop, repeatedly parsing the same header and preventing further processing. This can lead to a denial of service (DoS) condition, making the affected system or application unresponsive. This Important denial of service flaw in node-tar affects Red Hat products that process untrusted tar archives. A remote attacker can provide a specially crafted archive with a malformed header, leading to an infinite loop during parsing and causing the application to become unresponsive. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-606.

High [CVE-2026-44918] Prevent rehoming resources to nodes with different owner

OpenStack Ironic through before 37.0.1 allows creation or modification of nodes cross-project without authorization. An authenticated project manager can change the node associated with Volume Connectors or Volume Target objects, potentially changing the project permitted to access the object. Volume Connectors contain secrets in environments configuring boot from volume with iSCSI volumes. Additionally, a project manager with the ability to create nodes can use the UUID of a node not owned by their project as a parent node when creating a new node. This mismatched child node can then be used to impact operations on the parent, such as forcing it to power on. The Red Hat Product Security team has assessed the severity of this vulnerability as Important. An authenticated project manager can reparent Volume Connectors and Volume Targets to nodes in a different project, crossing project authorization boundaries and potentially exposing iSCSI secrets used for boot-from-volume configurations. However, exploitation requires the 'manager' role, which is not a default role in OpenStack and must be explicitly granted by an administrator. The attacker must also know the UUID of the target node in the other project.

High [CVE-2026-59999] OpenSSH sshd: Security bypass due to incorrect handling of forwarding and tunneling options

In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4, DisableForwarding=yes was supposed to take precedence over PermitTunnel=yes, but did not. When `DisableForwarding=yes` is configured to prevent network traffic forwarding, it incorrectly fails to take precedence over `PermitTunnel=yes`. This allows a remote attacker to bypass intended security restrictions and establish a tunnel, potentially leading to unauthorized network access or circumvention of security policies, even when forwarding is explicitly disabled. This Moderate severity flaw in OpenSSH `sshd` allows `PermitTunnel=yes` to override `DisableForwarding=yes`, potentially bypassing intended security controls. In Red Hat environments where `DisableForwarding` is used to restrict SSH session capabilities, an attacker who compromises a user's session could still establish a tunnel, leading to unauthorized network access or data exfiltration. This bypass occurs even when administrators explicitly attempt to prevent forwarding, though `PermitTunnel` is not enabled by default.
