Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-128086

medium Nessus Plugin ID 381430

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. From version 1.0.0-RC1 until version 1.47.0, baggage.Parse and propagation.Baggage.Extract eagerly materialize every W3C baggage property through parseMember, grow property slices, serialize members, and copy properties into internal/baggage.Item. A valid densely populated baggage header can therefore cause allocation traffic and retained memory disproportionate to its bounded input size. Remote impact requires baggage extraction to be enabled, attacker-controlled input to reach it, and extraction to run before authentication or on a public route;
 the evidence establishes increased allocation and garbage-collection pressure but not reliable process termination. This issue is fixed in version 1.47.0. (CVE-2026-128086)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
