CVE-2026-86537
Description
A flaw was found in Apache Thrift's D language bindings. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending specially crafted input to an affected application. This input triggers an integer underflow or an unhandled exception, causing the process to enter an infinite loop or terminate unexpectedly.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
