Red HatCVE-2026-87742

Red Hat quarkus-websockets-next. This vulnerability: denial of service

High7.5CVE-2026-87742 · Published Sep 17, 2026 · updated Sep 22, 2026

A flaw was found in quarkus-websockets-next. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by streaming messages over a single connection faster than the application can process them. Due to unbounded message buffering and a lack of read backpressure, this rapidly exhausts heap space, leading to a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError that crashes the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
