Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: satellite/iop-vulnerability-engine-rhel9 container image available as a Technology Preview
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: A new satellite/iop-vulnerability-engine-rhel9 container image is now available as a Technology Preview in the Red Hat container registry.
Details: Red Hat Lightspeed in Satellite analyzes system health and configuration by applying predefined rules to a small set of local data, such as installed packages, running services, and configuration settings. When you install Red Hat Lightspeed in Satellite locally, you can generate Red Hat Lightspeed recommendations without sending system data to Red Hat services.

CVE-2026-42561

A flaw was found in python-multipart. A remote attacker can exploit this denial of service (DoS) vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request with an excessive number of part headers or a single very large header value during multipart/form-data parsing. This can lead to excessive CPU utilization, resulting in a denial of service for the affected system.
