CVE-2026-15567: Red Hat WildFly denial of service in CSIv2Util GSS token decoder

CVE-2026-15567 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-08-11

WildFly is an open-source Java application server used to run enterprise applications. A remote attacker without credentials can send a specially crafted network request to trigger an out-of-memory condition, causing the server to crash and making applications unavailable. This can disrupt business operations and customer access to online services.

Technologies: Red Hat WildFly. Vendors: Red Hat.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an unbounded memory allocation flaw in WildFly's CSIv2Util component, which handles GSS (Generic Security Service) token decoding for CORBA/CSI authentication. The vulnerable code reads an attacker-controlled length field from the incoming token without validating its bounds, then attempts to allocate a byte array of that size. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a token with an extremely large length value to trigger an OutOfMemoryError, exhausting heap memory and crashing the server. The attack is network-reachable and requires no authentication or user interaction. A patch is expected from Red Hat.
