Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper handling of exceptional conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-26330)
CWE-ID: CWE-755 - Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions
CVSSv4: 6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling in the global rate limit response phase logic when the response phase limit is enabled and the response phase request fails directly. A remote user can trigger this condition to cause a denial of service.
Exploitation requires the response phase limit to be enabled.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-26308)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 8.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass RBAC header validation restrictions and disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the RBAC header validation logic when processing multiple header values concatenated into a single header entry. A remote attacker can send requests with multi-value headers to bypass RBAC header validation restrictions and disclose sensitive information.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-26310)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the DNS handling functionality when processing scoped ip address input. A remote attacker can send crafted input to cause a denial of service.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-26311)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the HTTP filter chain when processing reset streams. A remote attacker can trigger filter chain execution on a reset stream to cause a denial of service.
5) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-26309)
CWE-ID: CWE-193 - Off-by-one Error
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one write in JsonEscaper::escapeString() when processing input. A remote attacker can send crafted input to cause a denial of service.
