Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs bug fix and enhancement update
A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the nanoid library used by Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs, specifically in the jaeger package version 2.20.0-0.6.hum1. The flaw allows an attacker to cause an infinite loop by providing a zero-size input to the customAlphabet or customRandom functions, which hangs the application's calling thread. This update addresses this issue by providing a fixed version of the affected RPMs.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-67213 is a denial of service vulnerability in the nanoid library, a small, secure, and URL-friendly unique string ID generator. The vulnerability occurs when an attacker supplies a zero-size input to the customAlphabet or customRandom functions, causing an infinite loop and resulting in a denial of service by hanging the calling thread. This issue affects the jaeger package included in Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs, specifically version 2.20.0-0.6.hum1 for aarch64 and x86_64 architectures. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-835 (Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition). Red Hat has released an update to address this flaw.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability causes an infinite loop that leads to resource exhaustion, specifically CPU cycles, resulting in a denial of service condition by hanging the application's calling thread. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity, but availability is significantly affected due to the application hang.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released a fixed update for the affected RPMs (jaeger-2.20.0-0.6.hum1) that resolves this vulnerability. Users should apply this update as soon as possible to mitigate the denial of service risk. No additional mitigations are specified or required beyond applying the official fix.
