Description

A vulnerability (CVE-2026-84445) in gRPC-Go affects Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 5.0, specifically in xDS-managed gRPC servers. Malformed RPC requests missing required :authority or Host headers can cause an index-out-of-bounds panic, crashing the server process and causing denial of service. This issue can be exploited by unauthenticated remote clients in some deployments. The vulnerability does not affect standard gRPC servers without xDS routing. Red Hat has released updated ibu container images for OpenShift Container Platform 5.0 to address this issue.
