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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.0},"cwes":["CWE-1287"],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-17113","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2506872"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-17113","score":0.00147,"percentile":0.03849,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
