A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CISA KEV (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Red Hat to 4.17.26.

Description

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments. This advisory contains the container images for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17.26. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2025:4014 Space precludes documenting all of the container images in this advisory. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for details about these changes: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.17/html/release_notes/ Security Fix(es): * golang.org/x/crypto/ssh: Denial of Service in the Key Exchange of golang.org/x/crypto/ssh (CVE-2025-22869) * golang-jwt/jwt: jwt-go allows excessive memory allocation during header parsing (CVE-2025-30204) * kernel: ALSA: usb-audio: Fix out of bounds reads when finding clock sources (CVE-2024-53150) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. To check for available updates, use the OpenShift CLI (oc) or web console. Instructions for upgrading a cluster are available at https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.17/html-single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-cli.

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

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.

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.

CWE-125Out-of-bounds Read (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #8
The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design · Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.

CWE-770Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #25
The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any intended restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated.
Requirements
Clearly specify the minimum and maximum expectations for capabilities, and dictate which behaviors are acceptable when resource allocation reaches limits.
Architecture and Design
Limit the amount of resources that are accessible to unprivileged users. Set per-user limits for resources. Allow the system administrator to define these limits. Be careful to avoid CWE-410.
Architecture and Design
Design throttling mechanisms into the system architecture. The best protection is to limit the amount of resources that an unauthorized user can cause to be expended.

CWE-405Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification) (opens in a new tab)
Class weakness
The product does not properly control situations in which an adversary can cause the product to consume or produce excessive resources without requiring the adversary to invest equivalent work or otherwise prove authorization, i.e., the adversary's influence is "asymmetric."
Architecture and Design
An application must make resources available to a client commensurate with the client's access level.
Architecture and Design
An application must, at all times, keep track of allocated resources and meter their usage appropriately.
System Configuration
Consider disabling resource-intensive algorithms on the server side, such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

CWE-119Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: High
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Operation · Build and Compilation · Environment Hardening
Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index…
