Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-1519)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/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 improper input validation in the DNSSEC validation component when handling NSEC3 records during insecure delegation validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS zone response to cause excessive CPU load on the resolver.

Resolvers performing DNSSEC validation are affected; authoritative-only servers are generally not affected unless they perform recursive queries.


2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-5450)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to calling the scanf family of functions with a %mc (malloc'd character match) in the GNU C Library with a format width specifier with an explicit width greater than 1024 could result in a one byte heap buffer overflow. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31790)

CWE-ID: CWE-252 - Unchecked Return Value

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect failure handling in RSA KEM RSASVE encapsulation when processing an attacker-supplied invalid RSA public key with EVP_PKEY_encapsulate(). A remote attacker can supply an invalid RSA public key to disclose sensitive information.

The issue affects applications using RSA/RSASVE encapsulation without validating the supplied public key first.
