CVE-2026-64773

Unbounded Memory Buffer via Container TCP Forwarding

Published Aug 20, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
An attacker that can reach a container's published TCP port may be able to force the host's forwarding process to buffer an unbounded amount of that client's data in memory, for as long as the backend container connection takes to complete — with no cap on how much accumulates or how long the wait can be stretched. This vulnerability is addressed in container version 1.2.0.
