AI-suggested

Users should update their ca-certificates packages to remove the compromised eMudhra root CA certificates as provided by Red Hat. Additionally, updating to the patched python3.11 RPM packages will apply the ssl module hardening that rejects weak intermediate CA certificates. If updating ca-certificates packages is not possible, refer to Red Hat's RHSB-2026-012 security bulletin for alternative mitigation steps. No further action is required if these updates are applied.

Description

Red Hat issued a security advisory for Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs including updates to python3.11 packages. The advisory addresses two CVEs, including CVE-2026-115557, which involves weak intermediate CA certificates issued by the eMudhra certificate authority. These weak certificates could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to issue fraudulent certificates trusted by clients relying on affected root CAs. The Python ssl module was updated to reject these weak intermediate certificates, providing additional hardening. Red Hat mitigated the issue by removing compromised root CA certificates from their ca-certificates packages. Users are advised to update ca-certificates packages to resolve the issue. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
