CVE-2026-121996
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-px57-gjvm-vwfx ↗EUVD-2026-117573 ↗
description
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 installations with the listed crash or GDB-related packages are affected by a length-validation error in gdbserver's agent-expression parsing. An unauthenticated network attacker may obtain uninitialized process memory and disrupt gdbserver if they can reach a running gdbserver instance.
mitigation
Restrict gdbserver access to trusted administrative networks or disable it where it is not required. Apply Red Hat updates for the affected packages when available; no fixed version is recorded in the supplied advisory data.
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
