Red Hat Goose Updates Address Four High-Severity Vulnerabilities
Tech GuruQuick Answer
Red Hat published RHSA-2026:80764 and RHSA-2026:80765 for Goose database migration tooling on RHEL 9.8 EUS and RHEL 10.2. Apply goose 1.45.0-1.el9_8 or 1.45.0-1.el10_2 for the matching branch only to the matching entitled branch, validate dependent services, and retain package and change evidence.
Confirm Scope And Apply The Supported Remediation
What to do now: Inventory Goose database migration tooling on RHEL 9.8 EUS and RHEL 10.2, compare installed NEVRAs with the exact advisory relationships, deploy goose 1.45.0-1.el9_8 or 1.45.0-1.el10_2 for the matching branch from the supported channel, restart dependent services where required, and validate representative operations.

What Changed
Red Hat issued branch-specific Goose packages for four vulnerabilities affecting database migration workflows.
What To Validate Now
- Inventory. Locate Goose database migration tooling on RHEL 9.8 EUS and RHEL 10.2 deployments, versions, enabled features, exposure paths, owners, and dependent services.
- Establish applicability. Compare each deployment with the authority's affected-version statement: The exact Goose package relationships for the entitled RHEL 9.8 EUS and RHEL 10.2 streams listed by RHSA-2026:80764 and RHSA-2026:80765. Do not infer applicability from product family or severity alone.
- Remediate. Apply goose 1.45.0-1.el9_8 or 1.45.0-1.el10_2 for the matching branch through the supported vendor or project channel, following the current advisory and change-control requirements.
- Validate. Confirm the resulting version or managed-service state, exercise representative functionality and recovery paths, monitor for regressions, and document exceptions.
- 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
Do not substitute package builds across RHEL branches. Test Goose consumers, integrations, service restarts, and rollback before broad deployment. Preserve the authority snapshot, asset and owner records, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, exceptions, and rollback evidence.
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.
