Technical Summary
This advisory covers Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17.26, which includes fixes for several security vulnerabilities. Notably, CVE-2024-53150 addresses an out-of-bounds read in the ALSA usb-audio kernel driver when finding clock sources. Other vulnerabilities fixed include a denial of service in the key exchange of golang.org/x/crypto/ssh (CVE-2025-22869) and a memory allocation issue during JWT header parsing in golang-jwt/jwt (CVE-2025-30204). The advisory provides updated container images and RPM packages for affected architectures and platforms. Users should upgrade using the OpenShift CLI or web console following Red Hat's documented procedures.
Potential Impact
The kernel vulnerability (CVE-2024-53150) could lead to out-of-bounds memory reads, potentially causing system instability or crashes. The golang.org/x/crypto/ssh vulnerability (CVE-2025-22869) could allow denial of service during SSH key exchange. The golang-jwt/jwt vulnerability (CVE-2025-30204) allows excessive memory allocation during JWT header parsing, which could be exploited to disrupt service. These issues affect Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 prior to 4.17.26 and related Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 kernel packages. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17.26 and corresponding updated kernel packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6. Users should upgrade to OpenShift Container Platform 4.17.26 using the OpenShift CLI or web console as per Red Hat's official upgrade documentation. The system must be rebooted after applying the kernel update for the fix to take effect. No additional mitigations are required beyond applying these official updates.
