OpenSSL fixed 14 CVEs on 29 Sept in 4.0.3, 3.6.5, 3.5.9 and 3.4.8. The only High is in DTLS and five Lows are QUIC-only. Here's how to tell what your build reaches.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
OpenSSL fixed 14 CVEs on 29 Sept in 4.0.3, 3.6.5, 3.5.9 and 3.4.8. The only High is in DTLS and five Lows are QUIC-only. Here's how to tell what your build reaches.
CVE-2026-110447 is an unauthenticated command injection in "Collabora Online - Built-in CODE Server", the Nextcloud app (richdocumentscode) that runs a bundled Collabora office server inside a Nextcloud install.
CVE-2026-49950 is a critical remote code execution bug in Xoscar, the Python actor framework that the Xinference model-serving platform is built on. Anyone who can reach an Xoscar actor pool over TCP can run code as the process that owns it. No authentication is needed.
OpenVPN 2.7.8 fixes CVE-2026-84790, a bug where a certificate whose common name contains a hidden NUL byte, such as admin\0impersonator, is treated as belonging to admin. A peer holding such a certificate could pass a --verify-x509-name admin check, and on a server it would be handed admin's per-client configuration.
On 13 October 2026, Nix and Lix fixed five vulnerabilities. The most serious, CVE-2026-110450, let any user allowed to talk to the Nix daemon overwrite any path in /nix/store, including the nix binary the root-owned daemon runs. On macOS, a second bug let build processes reach the daemon too.
Libreswan 5.4.1 and 5.3.3 fix four vulnerabilities, three of them reachable by an unauthenticated peer. The CVE records appeared on 13 October, and as of 14 October Debian and Red Hat hadn't shipped fixed packages. What each bug does, who is exposed, and what to do now.
CVE-2026-104795 is a container escape in OpenShift's insights-runtime-extractor. Any tenant who can schedule a pod can get root with CAP_SYS_ADMIN on the node. No fix has shipped yet.
From Podman 4.4.0 until the September 2026 fixes, rootful podman run treated any image with a checkpoint annotation as a checkpoint and ignored flags like --cap-drop=ALL. Who is exposed and how to check images.
nginx 1.30.6 and 1.31.7 fix five CVEs, three scored 9.2 by F5. Each needs a specific configuration to be reachable. What triggers each one, F5's workarounds, and a script that checks your nginx -T output.
