CVE-2026-65654

temporalio/ringpop-go fails to enforce configured label limits on inbound membership gossip

Published Sep 21, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
github.com/temporalio/ringpop-go enforces configured LabelOptions limits when an application changes the local node's labels, but affected versions do not apply those limits to label maps received in SWIM membership changes. A network peer that can reach a live Ringpop TChannel listener can repeatedly submit changes for distinct member addresses containing label keys, values, or counts that exceed the receiver's configured limits. Accepted labels are retained in the member list and disseminated to peers, allowing memory and gossip-bandwidth consumption to exceed configured bounds and potentially making the hosting process unavailable. The fix validates peer-supplied label maps before they are retained or disseminated. Availability only; no confidentiality or integrity impact was identified.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade github.com/temporalio/ringpop-go to v0.1.0 or later. The fix validates peer-supplied label maps against the configured LabelOptions before labels are retained or disseminated. Invalid incoming labels are discarded while the remaining membership change can still be processed.


Vendor Workaround

Restrict the Ringpop membership listener to trusted cluster members. Where supported by the embedding application, require mutual TLS with verified client certificates. These controls prevent untrusted clients from reaching the vulnerable receive path but do not correct the missing validation for an authenticated or compromised peer.
