Answer in brief
CVE-2026-9149 records a Medium severity (CVSS 6.5) vulnerability in Libsolv: heap buffer overflow in libsolv repo_add_solv via negative maxsize from crafted .solv file. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Red Hat/libsolv (generic), Red Hat/openshift/ose-rhel-coreos-8 (generic), Red Hat/openshift/ose-rhel-coreos-9 (generic), Red Hat/satellite-capsule:el8/libsolv (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

A flaw was found in libsolv. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability occurs when a victim processes a specially crafted `.solv` file containing negative size values in the `repo_add_solv` function. This leads to an undersized memory allocation and a subsequent out-of-bounds write. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service (DoS).
