Cjose Security Update — AlmaLinux 9 (ALSA-2026:90812)

ALSA-2026:90812 updates cjose on AlmaLinux 9, fixing CVE-2026-53938 — a heap buffer overflow in AES Key Wrap decryption (the JOSE signing/encryption C library) leading to denial of service. Update with dnf update cjose and restart services that link it — cjose sits under JWT/OIDC handling in Apache modules and identity tooling.

High 8.2 CVSS
AlmaLinux 9

Что это значит по лицензии SharedLicense

A heap overflow in the JOSE key-wrap decryption path is reachable by crafted tokens: applications verifying JWTs through cjose can be crashed — and heap overflows in token parsing carry potential code-execution risk.

Type:

security

Severity:

important

Release date:

2026-10-29

Description:

CJose is C library implementing the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE).

Security Fix(es):

* cjose: cjose: Heap buffer overflow in AES Key Wrap decryption leads to denial of service (CVE-2026-53938)

Часто задаваемые вопросы

What is CVE-2026-53938?
It is a heap buffer overflow in cjose's AES Key Wrap decryption, leading to denial of service, fixed in the AlmaLinux 9 update ALSA-2026:90812.
Who is affected?
AlmaLinux 9 servers with cjose installed — typically as a dependency of OpenID Connect / JWT verification stacks such as Apache auth modules and identity tooling.
How do I apply the fix?
Run dnf update cjose and restart the services that link it (Apache modules, SSO daemons) so they reload the patched library.
Why does a JWT library flaw matter for authentication?
JOSE libraries parse untrusted tokens during every login — memory-corruption flaws in that parsing are reached by anyone who can submit a token, which is why token-parsing overflows are treated as security-critical even when the advertised impact is DoS.
