AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-24791 is a denial of service vulnerability in the net/http package caused by improper handling of HTTP 100-continue requests. This flaw can lead to resource exhaustion or service disruption in applications using the affected Go libraries. The vulnerability impacts Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization images, including versions 4.13.11 and 4.16.7, as well as related Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Go toolset packages. Red Hat has issued security advisories (RHSA-2024:6912 and RHSA-2025:3973) providing updated images and packages that address this issue. The advisories also include fixes for other Go-related vulnerabilities. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by exploiting improper handling of HTTP 100-continue requests in the net/http package. This can result in service disruption or resource exhaustion in affected Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization deployments and related Go toolset components. No evidence of active exploitation has been reported, but the impact is rated as high due to potential service availability issues.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated OpenShift Virtualization images (4.13.11 and 4.16.7) and Go toolset packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 that fix this vulnerability. Users should apply these updates as soon as possible. Detailed update instructions are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258.
