RHSA-2026:40021
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-07-23 07:30 - Updated: 2026-07-23 13:23A flaw was found in BIND. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a maliciously crafted DNSSEC-validated zone to a BIND resolver. This could cause the resolver to consume excessive CPU resources, leading to a denial of service (DoS) for legitimate users.

A flaw was found in glibc (GNU C Library). This vulnerability occurs when an application uses the `scanf` family of functions with a `%mc` format specifier, which is used for dynamically allocating memory for character input, and provides an explicit width greater than 1024. This specific combination can lead to a one-byte heap buffer overflow, potentially allowing an attacker to corrupt memory.

A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's CIFS client implementation. This could allow a local attacker to impersonate other users, bypass authentication in SMB mount operations, and potentially gain unauthorized access to network file shares or escalate privileges.

Workaround
|
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's traffic control packet editing (pedit) subsystem. In tcf_pedit_act(), the copy-on-write (COW) range for skb_ensure_writable() is computed once before iterating over edit keys, but the calculation does not account for runtime header offsets added by typed keys. This can leave part of the target write region without a proper copy-on-write, leading to an out-of-bounds write that corrupts page cache memory. A local attacker with the ability to configure traffic control rules could exploit this to escalate privileges or crash the system.

The attack requires local access, which prevents remote exploitation and is the primary factor keeping the rating at Important rather than Critical.\n\nExploitation requires three components to be present on the system: the `cifs` kernel module (loaded or loadable), the `cifs-utils` package with its default `cifs.spnego` request-key rule, and the ability to create unprivileged user and mount namespaces. All three must be present for the attack chain to succeed. Environments that do not use SMB/CIFS file shares or Active Directory integration are unlikely to have `cifs-utils` installed, reducing their exposure.\n\nIn OpenShift Container Platform 4, this flaw is rated Low. The default `restricted-v2` Security Context Constraint (SCC) sets `allowPrivilegeEscalation: false` on all pods, which causes the kernel to ignore setuid file bits, preventing privilege escalation. Under non-default SCCs such as `anyuid` that permit privilege escalation, the vulnerability is constrained by PID and mount namespace isolation to the container\u0027s own filesystem. An attacker would only be able to escalate privileges within the container, not on the host or across pods.",

"text": "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel\u0027s traffic control packet editing (pedit) subsystem. In tcf_pedit_act(), the copy-on-write (COW) range for skb_ensure_writable() is computed once before iterating over edit keys, but the calculation does not account for runtime header offsets added by typed keys. This can leave part of the target write region without a proper copy-on-write, leading to an out-of-bounds write that corrupts page cache memory. A local attacker with the ability to configure traffic control rules could exploit this to escalate privileges or crash the system.",

By default in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, this limits exploitation to the root user or processes explicitly granted network administration capabilities. However, in some circumstances unprivileged users may obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN within user namespaces. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution in kernel context or a system crash.\n\nRed Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and earlier are not affected. Within OpenShift Container Platform, the vulnerable module is not loaded by default, reducing the severity to Low.",
