An update is now available for Red Hat Lightspeed (formerly Insights) for Runtimes on RHEL 9. Security fix(es): * gRPC-Go: DoS via malformed RPC requests (CVE-2026-84445) * Go net/mail: DoS via pathological email address parsing (CVE-2026-42499) * Go net/mail: DoS via crafted email inputs (CVE-2026-39820) * Golang MIME: DoS via maliciously-crafted MIME header (CVE-2026-42504) * Go encoding/asn1: DoS via excessive recursion in Unmarshal (CVE-2026-33818) * Golang crypto/tls: DoS via indefinite KeyUpdate messages (CVE-2026-56862) * Go html/template: XSS via pathological input (CVE-2026-56858) * Go net/http: Unencrypted HTTP/2 DoS (CVE-2026-56853) * Go: DoS via XML decoding recursion depth issue (CVE-2026-56859) * golang net/url: DoS from quadratic complexity in path resolution (CVE-2026-56860) * OpenTelemetry-Go: DoS via oversized baggage headers (CVE-2026-41178) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This advisory covers a security update for Red Hat Lightspeed (formerly Insights) for Runtimes on RHEL 9 that addresses multiple vulnerabilities in Go language components including gRPC-Go, net/mail, MIME, encoding/asn1, crypto/tls, html/template, net/http, XML decoding, net/url, and OpenTelemetry-Go. The vulnerabilities primarily allow denial-of-service attacks through malformed or malicious inputs, and one XSS vulnerability via pathological input. The update includes patched RPM packages for golang1.25 and related components. The vendor advisory confirms the availability of patches and provides detailed package versions for remediation.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities allow attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions in affected components by sending malformed or maliciously crafted inputs, potentially disrupting service availability. One vulnerability allows cross-site scripting (XSS) via pathological input. There are no reports of known exploits in the wild. The impact is primarily service disruption and potential security bypass in template rendering.
Mitigation Recommendations
A security update is available and should be applied promptly. Red Hat has released patched versions of golang1.25 packages (version 1.25.13-0.1.hum1) that address these vulnerabilities. Users should update to these versions as per Red Hat's advisory instructions. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.
