CVE-2026-41078
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
OpenTelemetry dotnet is a dotnet telemetry framework. In 1.6.0-rc.1 and earlier, OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Jaeger may allow sustained memory pressure when the internal pooled-list sizing grows based on a large observed span/tag set and that enlarged size is reused for subsequent allocations. Under high-cardinality or attacker-influenced telemetry input, this can increase memory consumption and potentially cause denial of service. There is no plan to fix this issue as OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Jaeger was deprecated in 2023.

"value": "OpenTelemetry dotnet es un framework de telemetría dotnet. En 1.6.0-rc.1 y anteriores, OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Jaeger puede permitir una presión de memoria sostenida cuando el tamaño interno de la lista agrupada (pooled-list) crece basado en un gran conjunto observado de span/etiqueta y ese tamaño ampliado se reutiliza para asignaciones posteriores. Bajo alta cardinalidad o entrada de telemetría influenciada por el atacante, esto puede aumentar el consumo de memoria y potencialmente causar denegación de servicio. No hay un plan para solucionar este problema ya que OpenTelemetry.Exporter.Jaeger fue desaprobado en 2023."
