CVE-2026-41602: Apache Thrift: Go TFramedTransport uint32 overflow
Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in Apache Thrift TFramedTransport Go language implementation
This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.23.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.23.0, which fixes the issue.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to disrupt services using Apache Thrift’s Go TFramedTransport. The flaw can cause an integer value to wrap, creating an availability risk rather than a confidentiality or data-integrity risk. Apache Thrift versions before 0.23.0 are affected; upgrading to 0.23.0 is recommended.
Executive priority
Treat this as a high-priority availability issue for externally reachable or business-critical Thrift services. Accelerate identification and upgrading where Go TFramedTransport is exposed to untrusted traffic. Lower the priority only after confirming the vulnerable version or transport is absent, unreachable, or replaced.
Technical view
CVE-2026-41602 is a CWE-190 integer overflow in Apache Thrift’s Go TFramedTransport implementation before 0.23.0. Its CVSS 3.1 score is 7.5: network-accessible, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction, with high availability impact and no stated confidentiality or integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely where a Go application uses Apache Thrift before 0.23.0, specifically TFramedTransport, and accepts untrusted network traffic. The bundle does not establish whether every application importing Thrift reaches the vulnerable code. Confirm actual transport configuration and network reachability before treating a dependency match as exploitable.
Exploitation context
The supplied record does not identify active exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV in the bundle. It also provides no evidence of a public exploit. Nevertheless, the network-accessible, unauthenticated, low-complexity rating means reachable affected services warrant prompt attention because successful exploitation could cause substantial service disruption.
Researcher notes
The source bundle identifies the overflow class and affected component but does not explain the precise failure mode, triggering input, or affected call paths. Avoid assuming code execution or data compromise: the supplied CVSS vector specifies availability impact only. Product-specific Red Hat applicability should be determined from its VEX and individual errata.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade Apache Thrift to version 0.23.0 or later.
Prioritize internet-facing or otherwise untrusted-network services using Go TFramedTransport.
Restrict untrusted network access to affected services until upgrading is complete.
Review relevant Red Hat advisories when Apache Thrift is supplied through Red Hat products.
Validation and detection
Inventory Go applications and transitive dependencies containing Apache Thrift versions below 0.23.0.
Confirm whether each identified application configures or invokes TFramedTransport.
Determine whether affected endpoints accept traffic from untrusted networks without authentication.
Verify deployed artifacts use Apache Thrift 0.23.0 or later after remediation.
Run availability-focused regression tests against the upgraded transport implementation.
