OpenTelemetry eBPF Profiler is a production-scale agent for profiling applications across multiple programming languages. Starting in version 0.0.202527 and prior to version 0.0.202622, an unprivileged process can cause the profiler to open a nonregular mapping file, such as a FIFO, and block indefinitely, preventing further ELF analysis and causing a denial of service. Version 0.0.202622 contains a patch. No known workarounds are available.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:22032-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2026-2303: go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver: mongo-go-driver has Heap Out-of-Bounds Read in GSSAPI Error     Handling       (bsc#1269861).
    - CVE-2026-37236: github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway/v2/runtime: client can override the HTTP method     of a POST       request through the X-HTTP-Method-Override header and bypass established access control (bsc#1277996).
    - CVE-2026-41178: go.opentelemetry.io/otel/baggage: no rejection of raw-length headers in baggage parsing     allows for DoS       via oversized inputs (bsc#1276742).
    - CVE-2026-45679: go.opentelemetry.io/obi: Redis error text is exported in span status messages and can     lead to       exfiltration of sensitive data (bsc#1267482).
    - CVE-2026-45680: go.opentelemetry.io/obi: unbounded BPF internal metrics replay can exhaust CPU and cause     a DoS       (bsc#1267483).
    - CVE-2026-45681: go.opentelemetry.io/obi: CPU-mismatch fallback uses 256-byte buffer with 8KB size and     can cause OBI       out-of-bounds reads to leak memory into telemetry (bsc#1267484).
    - CVE-2026-45683: go.opentelemetry.io/obi: Java TLS ioctl kprobe allows a user to point OBI at kernel     memory and cause       that memory to be copied into telemetry (bsc#1267486).
    - CVE-2026-45684: go.opentelemetry.io/obi: log enricher mishandled `writev` buffers and allows multi-     segment calls to       read and overwrite memory beyond the first segment (bsc#1267487).
    - CVE-2026-46600: golang.org/x/net/dns/dnsmessage: Parsing an invalid SVCB or HTTPS RR can panic when the     size of a       parameter value overflows the message buffer (bsc#1272418).
    - CVE-2026-48496: opentelemetry-ebpf-profiler: Unprivileged process can trigger a denial of service on the     ebpf-profiler       agent (bsc#1268982).
    - CVE-2026-56852: golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm: infinite loop on truncated/invalid UTF-8 input     (bsc#1272028).
    - CVE-2026-56854,CVE-2026-56855,CVE-2026-78662: golang.org/x/crypto/ssh: authentication bypass and     deadlocks in the       crypto/ssh library (bsc#1278671).
    - CVE-2026-71556: github.com/go-git/go-git/v5: Arbitrary file read/write via symbolic link resolution     (bsc#1276982).
    - CVE-2026-71557: github.com/go-git/go-git/v5: Malicious reference names may modify files outside the     reference storage       (bsc#1276992).
    - CVE-2026-75889: arbitrary file reads due to the `prometheus.operator.servicemonitors` component allowing     users who can       modify `ServiceMonitor` resources in a watched namespace to specify an arbitrary local file through     `bearerTokenFile`       (bsc#1277429).
    - CVE-2026-81521: go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver: MongoDB Go Driver: Write redirection via unvalidated     database name in       Client.BulkWrite (bsc#1278693).
    - CVE-2026-89090: github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws/protocol/eventstream: malformed EventStream response     frames       containing a crafted header value type byte outside the valid range can cause the host process to     terminate       (bsc#1280671).

    Changes for alloy:

    Update to version 1.19.2:

     * Remove withdrawn lib/pq CVEs from govulncheck
     * Add backticks to component name in generated doc output
     * BREAKING CHANGE: prometheus.operator.servicemonitors now      rejects endpoints that reference local files by default. Set      allow_arbitrary_file_access = true to preserve previous      behavior.
     * prometheus.enrich: Support multi-label matching
     * prometheus.relabel: Add opt-in TTL cache mode
     * telemetry: Add new metrics for graph connections and      pyroscope forwarded entries
     * database_observability: Exclude system schemas from MySQL      health checks and redact query text in explain_plans
     * Add nop receiver to OTel Engine
     * Backport dependency upgrades to address GO-2026-6061
