tftp-hpa: A flaw was found in tftp-hpa
CVE-2026-85234 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by RHSA-2026:82280, released September 15, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
A flaw was found in tftp-hpa. When the `in.tftpd` remap engine processes an inverse remap rule that also aborts with a non-empty custom error message, it can pass invalid match offsets to the `genmatchstring()` function. This leads to out-of-bounds read/write operations. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request, causing the daemon to crash and resulting in a denial of service.
