Hi, The following vulnerability was published for gssproxy. CVE-2026-116497[0]: | A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in gssproxy. When | a GSSX_INIT_SEC_CONTEXT request is received with the target_name | field absent, the daemon dereferences the resulting NULL pointer and | crashes. The request requires no authentication, allowing any local | user to crash the gssproxy daemon via its Unix socket. The daemon | does not automatically restart, resulting in a persistent denial of | service that also affects dependent services such as Kerberized NFS | and IdM. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2560642 If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
