Important: corosync security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Published Sep 28, 2026 · Updated Sep 28, 2026

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-81665: A heap-based buffer overflow was found in Corosync's Totem Process Group (totempg) message reassembly. When processing fragmented multicast messages, the buffer used to reassemble fragments lacks a runtime bounds check in release builds. A network-adjacent attacker able to send crafted multicast protocol messages to the cluster could cause a heap buffer overflow with attacker-controlled data. This can crash the Corosync daemon, causing a denial of service to the entire cluster, and may potentially allow further exploitation given sufficient heap-corruption control.
