It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-50256 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Enterprise Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50256/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50256/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-50256","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50256/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-50256","record":{"aliases":["AZL-89522","AZL-89571","BELL-CVE-2026-50256","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-50256","ECHO-0715-de66-8cf8","GHSA-7gx3-r5q9-6j33","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50256"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"X.Org X server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A stack buffer overflow in X.Org X server font alias resolution allows attackers to crash the server or escalate privileges if running as root.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"x_server","vendor":"x.org"},{"product":"xwayland","vendor":"x.org"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-121","name":"Stack-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland. A mismatch between the X server and the libXfont2 library's maximum font name length can cause a stack buffer overflow during font alias resolution. The server allocates a 256 byte stack buffer but libXfont2's alias target name length is 1024 bytes. A font alias name between 257 and 1023 bytes causes the X server to copy that name into the undersized stack buffer without further checks. This may be used to crash the server, or for privilege escalation if the X server runs as root.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10","id":"CVE-2026-50256","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:enterprise_linux","products":["redhat:enterprise_linux","x.org:x_server"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":33,"next":{"headline":"Xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in misyncdestroyfence()","id":"CVE-2026-50257"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Optical Disc Archive Software for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-50255"},"products":["Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Lifecycle Support  - EXTENSION","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Advanced Mission Critical Update Support","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Extended Update Support Long-Life Add-On","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Advanced Mission Critical Update Support","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Extended Update Support Long-Life Add-On","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Telecommunications Update Service","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Update Services for SAP Solutions","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Update Services for SAP Solutions","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Update Services for SAP Solutions","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Extended Update Support"],"published":"2026-06-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Red Hat JBoss RichFaces Framework Expression Language Injection","id":"CVE-2018-14667","kev_date_added":"2023-09-28","published":"2018-11-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing fixes for CVE-2021-40438 and CVE-2021-26691 in the versions of httpd, as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5.0, causes a securit","id":"CVE-2021-20325","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25011","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Supply chain in redhat-upgrade-tool","id":"CVE-2014-3585","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Squid: request/response smuggling in http/1.1 and icap","id":"CVE-2023-46846","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-28","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"A stack buffer overflow in X.Org X server font alias resolution allows attackers to crash the server or escalate privileges if running as root.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-50256/"}
