When smartcard emulation is enabled, attackers can send crafted smartcard cache requests with NULL lookup-name pointers to trigger strlen() on a null pointer, causing client process termination. ## Remediation Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges. ## Vendor advisories - **RHSA-2026:61378** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 10) · released 2026-08-31 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61378) - **RHSA-2026:62571** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CRB (v. 8) · released 2026-09-02 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:62571) - **RHSA-2026:65855** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream AUS (v.8.4), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream EUS EXTENSION (v.8.4) · released 2026-09-09 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:65855) - **RHSA-2026:61379** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 9), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 9) · released 2026-08-31 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61379) - **Red Hat VEX** · Moderate · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 · updated 2026-09-10 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-67288.json) - **RHSA-2026:66281** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream AUS (v.8.6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream EUS EXTENSION (v.8.6) · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66281) - **RHSA-2026:66282** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream E4S (v.8.8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream TUS (v.8.8) · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66282) - **RHSA-2026:68707** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7 ELS), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7 ELS) · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68707) - **RHSA-2026:68706** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream EUS (v. 10.0), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder EUS (v. 10.0) · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68706) - **RHSA-2026:71390** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream E4S (v.9.4) · released 2026-09-24 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71390)
