RHSA-2026:72492
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-09-28 12:58 - Updated: 2026-10-09 04:13A flaw was found in the klauspost/compress package. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a specially crafted compression dictionary with an excessively large repeat value, triggering an integer overflow. When the dictionary is subsequently processed, this overflow leads to out-of-bounds memory access, crashing the application and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A flaw was found in Trivy. This vulnerability allows information disclosure when scanning untrusted Terraform configuration files for misconfigurations. An attacker can craft a configuration that uses filesystem functions to reference pathnames outside the designated scan root directory. This directory traversal enables Trivy to read unauthorized files on the host system and potentially expose sensitive data within the scan output.
CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'){
