Technical Analysis

This advisory covers security fixes for the Red Hat build of the OpenTelemetry Collector, specifically addressing four vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-27144 (Go JOSE parsing vulnerable to denial of service), CVE-2025-22868 (unexpected memory consumption during token parsing in golang.org/x/oauth2/jws), CVE-2025-29786 (memory exhaustion in the Expr parser with unrestricted input), and CVE-2025-30204 (excessive memory allocation during JWT header parsing). These vulnerabilities involve excessive memory allocation or consumption during parsing operations, potentially leading to denial of service. The affected product is opentelemetry-collector version 0.107.0-9.el10_0 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. Red Hat has released updated packages to fix these issues as detailed in advisory RHSA-2025:7479.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities can cause denial of service conditions by exhausting system memory during parsing of tokens or expressions in affected components. This could disrupt the operation of the OpenTelemetry Collector, impacting telemetry data collection and processing. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The overall security impact is rated as Important by Red Hat.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released updated packages for opentelemetry-collector in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 to address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update RHSA-2025:7479 promptly to remediate the issues.
