What it is stated by the CNA

A flaw was found in the SmallRye Fault Tolerance library, which is used by Quarkus to provide strategies like retries and circuit breakers for microservices. The issue occurs when using the ApplyGuard or ApplyFaultTolerance annotations, where the library fails to release internal tracking objects after each request. This causes a steady increase in memory usage that eventually leads to the application slowing down and crashing due to lack of memory.

How to check this

Every value above is held with two dates: when it was true upstream (as_of) and when we recorded it (tx_from). Re-derive the exploit probability as it stood on any date:

SELECT value, source, source_version, as_of, tx_from
FROM volatile_valid_as_of('CVE-2026-94449', '2026-10-31T23:59:59.999999Z', now());
