AI-suggested
A fix is available in klauspost/compress version 1.20.2 and corresponding fixed Red Hat builds. Users should upgrade to these fixed versions to fully remediate the vulnerability. Until patched, mitigate by rejecting or filtering untrusted Zstandard-compressed payloads at ingress proxies or restricting decompression endpoints to authenticated, trusted clients. No direct configuration-level workaround exists within the library itself. Applying the upstream patch is necessary to close the integer wraparound defect and prevent exploitation.
Description
A vulnerability (CVE-2026-116591) exists in the klauspost compress library's Zstandard (zstd) decompression implementation. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted zstd compressed stream that triggers an integer handling flaw, causing the decoder to perform an out-of-bounds read and crash the application with an unhandled panic. This results in a denial of service (DoS) for applications decompressing untrusted inputs. The flaw affects applications using the klauspost/compress library for zstd decompression, including the Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer Operator used with OpenShift Container Platform versions 4.17 through 5.0. No direct configuration workaround exists within the library itself. Mitigations include rejecting or filtering untrusted zstd payloads at ingress or restricting decompression to trusted clients. A fix is available in klauspost/compress version 1.20.2 and corresponding Red Hat builds.
