This content was generated utilizing AI tools in conjunction with data from https://cmetaxonomy.org. Customers are advised to independently evaluate and test these temporary mitigations within their own infrastructure.\n\nThe highest-value action is to restrict GDB remote debugging sessions to trusted remote stubs and prevent connections to untrusted endpoints: upgrade to the corresponding fixed Red Hat builds, which apply the documented input check, closing crafted qTsP remote debug response following a longer qTfP response. Until patched, this is a concern on Linux systems running GDB remote debugging sessions connecting to remote debug targets, so Only initiate target remote debugging sessions to verified, trusted debug stubs and targets. As a compensating measure, Run SELinux in enforcing mode to confine GDB execution under mandatory access control and limit the blast radius of memory corruption. These controls limit blast radius and contain exploitation, but they do not fix the underlying stack buffer overflow defect — apply the upstream patch to fully remediate.\n\nHighest-impact CME: CME-301 SELinux (Enforcing Mode) (medium)"}],"revision":"ff7284484ab794f02d40923f667737446bae94752759f6da16c51a120e40f709","sources":[{"modifiedAt":1793994935227,"name":"CNA: redhat","retrievedAt":1793995839915,"url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-121995"},{"modifiedAt":1793899080820,"name":"NVD","retrievedAt":1793924195511,"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-121995"},{"modifiedAt":null,"name":"FIRST EPSS","retrievedAt":1793995841511,"url":"https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-121995"}],"ssvc":null,"status":"published","title":"Gdb: gdb: stack buffer overflow in parse_tracepoint_definition via stale rs->buf tail","updatedAt":1793995841511}
