A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

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 the Red Hat redhat/glib package to 10.2 or 9.8.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released OpenShift Container Platform 4.16.57 containing fixes for these vulnerabilities. Users running versions >=4.16.0 and <4.16.57 should upgrade to 4.16.57 as soon as it is available in their release channel. Upgrades can be performed via the OpenShift CLI (oc) or the web console following Red Hat's official upgrade documentation. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying this update.

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 4.16.57. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:2658 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/4.16/html/release_notes/ Security Fix(es): * openssl: OpenSSL: Remote code execution or Denial of Service via oversized Initialization Vector in CMS parsing (CVE-2025-15467) * libpng: LIBPNG out-of-bounds read in png_image_read_composite (CVE-2025-66293) * glib: Integer overflow in g_escape_uri_string() (CVE-2025-13601) 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/4.16/html-single/updating_clusters/index#updating-cluster-cli.

Impact

The vulnerabilities fixed in this update could lead to remote code execution or denial of service (OpenSSL), memory safety issues such as out-of-bounds reads (libpng), and integer overflow conditions (glib). These issues could potentially be exploited to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems running affected versions of OpenShift Container Platform 4.16. No active exploitation has been reported at this time.

Summary

This advisory covers security updates in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.16.57 that fix three vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-15467 in OpenSSL allowing remote code execution or denial of service via an oversized Initialization Vector in CMS parsing; CVE-2025-66293 in libpng causing an out-of-bounds read in png_image_read_composite; and CVE-2025-13601 in glib involving an integer overflow in g_escape_uri_string(). These vulnerabilities affect OpenShift Container Platform 4.16 versions prior to 4.16.57. The update includes container images and RPM packages to remediate these issues. Users should upgrade using the OpenShift CLI or web console following Red Hat's documented procedures. The advisory rates the security impact as Important (high severity).

CWE-190Integer Overflow or Wraparound (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: Medium
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
Requirements
Ensure that all protocols are strictly defined, such that all out-of-bounds behavior can be identified simply, and require strict conformance to the protocol.
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.

CWE-120Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #11
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer.
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…

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.
