CVE-2026-45684: OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation: Log enricher writev path can overread and overwrite user buffers

• Severity: medium (CVSS 5.3 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days

• Weakness: CWE-126

Description

OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation provides eBPF instrumentation based on the OpenTelemetry standard. From version 0.7.0 to before version 0.9.0, OBI's log enricher mishandles writev buffers by reading only the first iovec entry but using the total iov_iter.count as the copy length. When log injection is enabled, a crafted multi-segment writev call can make OBI read and overwrite memory beyond the first segment. This issue has been patched in version 0.9.0.

Affected products

• open-telemetry opentelemetry-ebpf-instrumentation: from 0.7.0 before 0.9.0 — fixed in 0.9.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: open-telemetry opentelemetry-ebpf-instrumentation 0.9.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
