Due to a thread-safety flaw, one thread can modify memory that belongs to another thread, corrupting the server's internal memory. A remote attacker who can reach the web server could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands on the server without any authentication, potentially leading to a complete takeover of the affected system, unauthorized access to sensitive data, and service disruption. Only servers that have HTTP/2 enabled are affected; servers configured to serve only HTTP/1.1 are not vulnerable."], "name": "CVE-2026-119618", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:rhel_els:6", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "httpd", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:rhel_els:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "httpd", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "httpd:2.4/mod_http2", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:hummingbird:1", "fix_state": "Affected", "package_name": "httpd", "product_name": "Red Hat Hardened Images"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:jboss_core_services:1", "fix_state": "Affected", "package_name": "jbcs-httpd24-mod_http2", "product_name": "Red Hat JBoss Core Services"}], "public_date": "2026-11-11T12:52:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-119618\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-119618"], "statement": "The Red Hat Product Security team has assessed the severity of this vulnerability as Critical. It allows unauthenticated remote code execution, and public research has demonstrated a reliable exploit against a default-configured server with the mod_http2 module enabled. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands, gain full control of the server process, and access or modify sensitive information.\nThe vulnerability's root cause is a thread-safety flaw in the mod_http2 module's handling of concurrent HTTP/2 requests: a worker thread writes into memory owned by the connection thread through a shared, lock-free allocator. This issue affects servers with HTTP/2 (h2 or h2c) enabled via the Protocols directive; servers serving only HTTP/1.1 are not affected.\nBecause exploitation depends on HTTP/2 stream workers sharing an allocator with the connection, the severity of this flaw varies across Red Hat products. The mod_http2 packages shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 allocate each HTTP/2 stream from a separate allocator, which substantially increases the complexity of exploiting the flaw. The severity for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 is therefore rated Important rather than Critical. Versions of mod_http2 prior to 2.0.8 do not contain the affected code, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and earlier are not affected. Refer to the affected packages table for the severity assigned to each Red Hat product.", "threat_severity": "Critical"}
