About this tag
The apache thrift tag covers security updates and administration guidance for Apache Thrift runtimes, with recent coverage focused on CVE-2026-55969 and CVE-2026-43871. These denial-of-service issues affect specific Thrift bindings and versions before 0.24.0, including C++, C/GLib, Go, .NET Standard, Delphi, Haxe, Python, PHP, and Java implementations. Coverage explains how oversized container declarations or malformed varint data can exhaust service resources, and why upgrading to Apache Thrift 0.24.0 matters. It also highlights Windows-specific considerations, including Microsoft’s 64-bit C++ data model and the distinction between a Microsoft Security Response Center listing and remediation delivered through Windows Update.
