Description Jon Moroney 2026-03-30 21:06:06 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Comment 1 Siddhesh Poyarekar 2026-03-31 11:46:11 UTC
As upstream CNA, the severity of "High" seems excessive even in the general case.  The only impact here is a DoS and it can easily be mitigated by (in the Red Hat context) dropping the glibc-gconv-extra package or minimally disabling the two gconv errant plugins; those converters are not in common use anyway.
