What Changed

Red Hat released RHSA-2026:96095 for RHEL 9.2 Update Services for SAP Solutions, addressing an out-of-bounds write while parsing STABS debug information in a crafted ELF file. The update provides the distribution packages listed below; keep the Red Hat release and support channel matched during remediation.

What To Validate Now

1. Inventory. Record GDB packages, analyst workstations, crash-analysis services and CI jobs that inspect externally supplied binaries.
2. Establish applicability. RHEL 9.2 Update Services for SAP Solutions: installations of the GDB packages requiring RHSA-2026:96095. Match the full installed RPM, architecture and repository to the vendor product tree; a universal upstream version range is not stated.
3. Remediate. Apply RHSA-2026:96095 through the entitled Red Hat repositories. The fixed source build is gdb-0:10.2-10.2.el9_2. Install the matching binary packages for the supported stream and architecture.
4. Validate. Restart debugger sessions, confirm the active GDB package and test representative trusted debugging or crash-analysis workflows.
5. Retain evidence. Preserve asset and owner identifiers, the applicability decision, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, and any exception or rollback record.

Operational Cautions

Red Hat recommends restricting untrusted ELF analysis, isolating automated debugging and assessing STABS sections. Preserve original evidence before altering debug sections; removing them can impair analysis and is not a package update.

Evidence To Retain

• Exact product, release stream, package or application version, enabled feature, environment, and accountable owner.
• UTC timestamps, authority revision, approved change record, installer or package-manager output, and resulting version.
• Relevant logs and monitoring evidence, test results, exceptions, compensating controls, and rollback decisions.
