Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 28 Apr 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

Description

This release of the Red Hat OpenShift distributed tracing platform (Tempo) provides security improvements and bug fixes. Breaking changes: * None. Deprecations: * None. Technology Preview features: * None. Enhancements: * None. Bug fixes: * Apache Thrift TFramedTransport integer overflow vulnerability is fixed: Previously, the Apache Thrift TFramedTransport Go language implementation contained an integer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this wraparound flaw to cause unexpected behavior or resource exhaustion, leading to a denial of service. With this update, the integer overflow vulnerability is fixed. For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-41602. * Apache Thrift server certificate validation vulnerability is fixed: Previously, Apache Thrift did not properly validate server certificates. Apache Thrift accepted certificates even when the hostname did not match the expected hostname. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to impersonate a legitimate server, intercept or alter sensitive communications, and gain unauthorized access or disclose information. With this update, Apache Thrift properly validates server certificate hostnames. For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-41603. * Apache Thrift out-of-bounds read vulnerability is fixed: Previously, Apache Thrift contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this flaw to access memory outside of allocated bounds, resulting in information disclosure or a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. With this update, Apache Thrift correctly validates memory access boundaries. For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-41604 and https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-41607. * Apache Thrift integer overflow vulnerability is fixed: Previously, Apache Thrift contained an integer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this wraparound flaw to cause unexpected behavior or resource exhaustion, impacting system availability or integrity. With this update, Apache Thrift correctly handles integer operations to prevent overflow conditions. For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-41605. * Apache Thrift uncontrolled recursion vulnerability is fixed: Previously, Apache Thrift contained an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability. When Apache Thrift processed specially crafted input, a remote attacker could trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, causing excessive resource consumption and system unavailability. With this update, the recursion vulnerability is fixed, and remote attackers can no longer exploit this flaw. For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2026-41606. Known issues: * None.

CWE-190Integer Overflow or Wraparound (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: Medium
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
Requirements
Ensure that all protocols are strictly defined, such that all out-of-bounds behavior can be identified simply, and require strict conformance to the protocol.
Requirements · Language Selection
Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
