MEDIUM 5.3REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-24889 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.3) affecting rs-soroban-sdk. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

soroban-sdk is a Rust SDK for Soroban contracts. Arithmetic overflow can be triggered in the `Bytes::slice`, `Vec::slice`, and `Prng::gen_range` (for `u64`) methods in the `soroban-sdk` in versions up to and including `25.0.1`, `23.5.1`, and `25.0.2`. Contracts that pass user-controlled or computed range bounds to `Bytes::slice`, `Vec::slice`, or `Prng::gen_range` may silently operate on incorrect data ranges or generate random numbers from an un

stellar rs-soroban-sdk UPGRADE

Affected: < 22.0.9 · >= 23.0.0 and < 23.5.1 · >= 25.0.0 and < 25.0.2

Fixed in: 22.0.9, 23.5.1, 25.0.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 23.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy rs-soroban-sdk || rpm -q rs-soroban-sdk || rs-soroban-sdk --version

2. UPGRADE to 22.0.9 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade rs-soroban-sdk

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade rs-soroban-sdk

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 23.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison rs-soroban-sdk sudo apt install rs-soroban-sdk=<VERSION_BEFORE_23.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold rs-soroban-sdk

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list rs-soroban-sdk sudo dnf downgrade rs-soroban-sdk-<VERSION_BEFORE_23.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add rs-soroban-sdk

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
