Comment 2 Peter Lemenkov 2026-07-23 00:16:47 UTC
Upstream advisory metadata for CVE-2026-44839 (GHSA-fh5r-jpm3-fjwp) is inaccurate. Corrected analysis and the Fedora fix follow.

Referenced patch is wrong. The advisory/NVD cite commit 7f54319279d1ece161ae0b4cdc6f0e58a4045eb5 as the patch. That commit is from 2017 ("API to restart a crashed vhost") and introduces the vhost-restart mechanism that is the attack precondition -- it is not a fix. It is present in every 4.0.x and 4.1.x release, including 4.0.9 and the advisory's claimed-fixed 4.1.2, so it cannot be the patch.

Fixed-version fields are wrong.
- "4.0.13" was never released; the 4.0.x line ends at 4.0.9.
- 4.1.2 does not contain the fix, and neither does any 4.1.x release through 4.1.4.

Actual fix: commit cfce31ef0510f5c3479415b95b4cb118ecc71f7d ("management: Sanitize vhost names in restart forms", 2025-06-17), first released upstream in 4.2.0. Correct boundary: affected < 4.2.0, fixed in 4.2.0.

Fedora status:
- f44 and rawhide ship >= 4.2.0 (4.2.x / 4.3.x) and already contain the fix.
- f43 ships 4.0.9; as no 4.0.x or 4.1.x release carries the fix, cfce31e has been backported onto 4.0.9. Updated F43 build in progress.
