Security Bulletin: Vulnarabilities in kernel, glibc, expat, RMC daemon, httpd and mod_http2 libraries (CVE-2026-46333, CVE-2026-4046, CVE-2026-45186, CVE-2026-14514, CVE-2025-53020, CVE-2026-49975) affect Power HMC.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2026-4046
DESCRIPTION:   The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.43 and earlier may crash due to an assertion failure when converting inputs from the IBM1390 or IBM1399 character sets, which may be used to remotely crash an application. This vulnerability can be trivially mitigated by removing the IBM1390 and IBM1399 character sets from systems that do not need them.

CVEID:   CVE-2026-45186
DESCRIPTION:   In libexpat before 2.8.1, the computational complexity of attribute name collision checks allows a denial of service via moderately sized crafted XML input.

CVEID:   CVE-2026-14514
DESCRIPTION:   IBM Reliable Scalable Cluster Technology (RSCT) 3.0 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted request due improper input validation.
CWE:   CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
CVSS Source:   IBM

CVEID:   CVE-2025-53020
DESCRIPTION:   Late Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.17 up to 2.4.63. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.64, which fixes the issue.
CWE:   CWE-401: Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

CVEID:   CVE-2026-46333
DESCRIPTION:   In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logic The 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of the task - the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and makes no sense when you don't have an associated mm. And almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task has a mm pointer. But we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to check various other things entirely independently of the MM (typically explicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS). Including for threads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel threads). It's not what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is. The ptrace code does check that the uid/gid matches, so you do have to be uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the traditional "drop capabilities" model doesn't make any difference for this all. Make it all make a *bit* more sense by saying that if you don't have a MM pointer, we'll use a cached "last dumpability" flag if the thread ever had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never set), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability to override.

CVEID:   CVE-2026-49975
DESCRIPTION:   Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server's mod_http leads to denial of service via malicious HTTP requests. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.17 through 2.4.67.
