When a `CreateContainer` request supplies a `nil` CRI\n`Envs` field, CRI-O falls back to using the target OCI image's `config.Env` entries\nunfiltered, in contrast to the normal merge path, which validates each entry for a\n`key=value` form before use. An OCI image whose `config.Env` contains an entry with no\n`=` character (e.g. a bare `NOEQUALS` string) causes CRI-O to split that entry into a\nsingle-element slice and then index its second element, which is out of range. This\ntriggers an unrecovered Go runtime panic in the `crio` daemon process, crashing it and\nterminating the container-runtime service for all workloads on the node until it is\nrestarted.","published":"2026-08-24T22:16:50.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-21T21:17:59.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-1287"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00147,"percentile":0.03855,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.15%).
