RHSA-2026:69612
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-09-21 19:00 - Updated: 2026-09-30 10:23A flaw was found in urllib3. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker on the network to intercept and alter data transmitted through an HTTPS proxy. The issue occurs when target-server Transport Layer Security (TLS) settings inadvertently overwrite the proxy's TLS configuration, which can disable certificate verification on reused connection contexts. Consequently, an attacker can impersonate the proxy to monitor or modify forwarded traffic or capture client credentials.

A flaw was found in urllib3. A malicious server can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by returning a specially crafted compressed response containing trailing bytes. When streaming the response in chunks, the decompression logic can enter an infinite loop by repeatedly processing unconsumed data without making progress. This issue leads to excessive CPU utilization and prevents the affected network request from completing.
A flaw was found in urllib3. This flaw allows a Denial of Service (DoS) through unbounded memory allocation when parsing chunk-encoded responses. A malicious server can send an excessively long chunk-size line without a newline, exhausting client memory and terminating the application.
