CVE-2026-94654: Apache Thrift: Python `TNonblockingServer` busy-loops and stops selecting all fds after an 8192-byte-boundary frame

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.33% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Thrift 0.25.0; azl3 thrift 0.24.0-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 0.25.0-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache Thrift 0.25.0; azl3 thrift 0.24.0-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 0.25.0-1 or later.
