CVE-2026-92081
Description
A flaw was found in fastify. When a route registers a response trailer and is served over HTTP/2, fastify incorrectly sets the 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' header. This leads to an unhandled exception in Node.js, causing the server process to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger this flaw with a single HTTP/2 request to any route using trailers, repeatedly crashing the server.
Statement
This Moderate impact denial of service vulnerability in fastify affects Red Hat OpenShift AI and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI components. An unauthenticated attacker could crash the server process by sending an HTTP/2 request to a route configured to use response trailers, leading to service disruption. This issue arises when applications explicitly register response trailers via reply.trailer() on HTTP/2 routes.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, applications should avoid registering response trailers using `reply.trailer()` on routes served over HTTP/2. This configuration change requires modifying the application code and restarting the affected services to take effect.
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.
