Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20337)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to write beyond a heap allocation.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write in ZIP catalogue capacity tracking when indexing local file headers. A remote attacker can provide a crafted ZIP archive to write beyond a heap allocation.
2) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20338)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to invalid free in ZIP catalogue record merging when scanning a malformed archive. A remote attacker can provide a crafted archive to cause a denial of service.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20339)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to write beyond an undersized buffer.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the PESpin unpacker when rebuilding a PE file. A remote attacker can provide a crafted PE file to write beyond an undersized buffer.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20345)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to read or write beyond a stack-allocated partition entry.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read and out-of-bounds write in GPT partition name conversion when parsing partition names. A remote attacker can provide a crafted GPT structure to read or write beyond a stack-allocated partition entry.
5) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20346)
CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow
CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow in the PDF parser when reading a malformed hex string. A remote attacker can provide a crafted PDF input to cause a denial of service.
6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20347)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the Mach-O parser when scanning a malformed Mach-O file. A remote attacker can provide a crafted Mach-O file to cause a denial of service.
The advisory also mentions undefined behavior in the affected parser.
7) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-20348)
