Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89575)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
The vulnerability exists due to improper buffer size calculation in build_constructor_string() when formatting a maximum-length u64 value. A local privileged user can cause sprintf() to write a terminating NUL byte beyond the allocated buffer space to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
