RHSA-2026:74948
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-10-02 12:11 - Updated: 2026-11-07 05:52A flaw was found in golang.org/x/text. An attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by submitting specially crafted input to an application utilizing the Nickname profile. When transforming this input into an undersized destination buffer, an out-of-bounds slice indexing error occurs, causing the application to panic and crash.

A flaw was found in OpenTelemetry-Go, specifically within its gRPC log exporter. This vulnerability allows a network attacker to bypass the intended private Certificate Authority (CA) pinning and mutual Transport Layer Security (TLS) configurations. The issue arises because the environment-only TLS path incorrectly uses system-trusted certificates instead of the application's configured client certificates. This bypass enables an attacker to intercept and spoof the collector connection, potentially leading to the unauthorized reading or alteration of sensitive log telemetry.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
