RHSA-2026:11720
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-05-05 03:47 - Updated: 2026-05-06 17:59A flaw was found in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. BC-JAVA bcprov. The `GOSTCTR` implementation is unable to securely process more than 255 blocks of data due to keystream reuse. This issue allows an attacker to break the fundamental confidentiality of any data protected by the `G3413CTRBlockCipher`, potentially leading to the recovery and access of encrypted data.
A flaw was found in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. BC-JAVA bcprov. The `LDAPStoreHelper` implementation fails to properly neutralize special elements in user-supplied input before incorporating them into LDAP queries. This allows a remote attacker to execute an LDAP injection attack by supplying crafted input, potentially leading to disclosure of sensitive information or the manipulation of directory search queries.
A flaw was found in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. BC-JAVA bcpkix. The PKIX draft `CompositeVerifier` implementation improperly accepts an empty signature sequence as a valid cryptographic signature. This issue allows a remote attacker to bypass signature verification mechanisms, potentially compromising the authenticity and integrity of data.
A flaw was found in io.quarkus:quarkus-vertx-http. A remote attacker can exploit an authorization bypass vulnerability by including semicolons, also known as matrix parameters, in HTTP requests. This allows bypassing path-based HTTP security policies, enabling unauthorized access to protected endpoints. The vulnerability arises because Quarkus's security layer performs authorization checks on the raw URL path, which preserves these matrix parameters.

"details": "To mitigate this issue, configure a reverse proxy or load balancer in front of the Quarkus application to normalize incoming URL paths by stripping matrix parameters (semicolons) before requests reach the Quarkus security layer. This ensures that authorization checks are performed on the intended path. Ensure that any changes to proxy configurations are thoroughly tested and services are reloaded or restarted as necessary to apply the new settings.",
