AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Grafana plugin for Performance Co-Pilot (grafana-pcp) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 includes datasources and dashboards for performance metrics. Two security issues were identified in underlying golang libraries used by the plugin: CVE-2025-61729 is a denial of service vulnerability caused by excessive resource consumption when processing crafted x509 certificates, and CVE-2025-61726 is a memory exhaustion vulnerability in the net/url package during query parameter parsing. Red Hat issued an important security advisory (RHSA-2026:3815) providing updated packages to remediate these issues. The advisory references fixes for these CVEs in the grafana-pcp 3.0.2-3.el8_4 package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Extended Update Support and Advanced Mission Critical Update Support.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-61729 could cause denial of service by exhausting resources when processing maliciously crafted certificates. CVE-2025-61726 could lead to memory exhaustion during URL query parameter parsing, potentially causing application instability or denial of service. Both vulnerabilities impact the grafana-pcp plugin on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated grafana-pcp packages (version 3.0.2-3.el8_4) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply these official security updates as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2026:3815 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.
