Not enough EPSS history yet.
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app that enables a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacker or a rogue gateway to disrupt system processes and potentially execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges (SYSTEM privileges on Windows, and root privileges on macOS and Linux).

CVE-2026-188886.5 MED—
———The MongoDB BI Connector ODBC Driver converts floating point column values into text without checking that the result fits within the destination buffer. When an application reads a sufficiently large floating point value as text, the driver may write beyond the end of that buffer and corrupt adjacent memory. A user who can store data in a collection read through the BI Connector could use this to crash the application performing the read.11hCVE-2026-196425.9 MED—
———An out-of-bounds write issue in the Base64 decoder in Amazon aws-sdk-cpp before 1.11.862 might allow a remote authenticated user to cause a crash or heap memory corruption in an application that processes crafted Base64-encoded input.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.11.862.12hCVE-2026-170839.8 CRI—

——0The Linkable Loadable Extensions (llext) subsystem mis-handles PLT/RELA relocation entries when linking a relocatable (partially-linked) ELF extension. In llext_link_plt() (subsys/llext/llext_link.c), the relocatable branch (tgt != NULL, the path used for Xtensa relocatable objects) computed the patch address as ext->mem[LLEXT_MEM_TEXT] - text.sh_offset + rela.r_offset + tgt->sh_offset and then performed the relocation write there without validating rela.r_offset. Its sibling shared/dynamic branch already rejected out-of-range offsets via llext_file_offset().
rela.r_offset is read directly from the ELF's RELA table, so a crafted entry with an offset larger than the target section makes the write land arbitrarily far outside the extension's text buffer. The result is an attacker-influenced out-of-bounds write (the location via r_offset, the written value being the resolved symbol address) performed in supervisor context at link time, before any extension code runs.
The path is reached from llext_load() whenever an application loads an attacker-influenced ELF extension on Xtensa with writable storage; llext is documented to accept extensions of untrusted origin. Impact is supervisor-context memory corruption (integrity and availability loss, and a sandbox-boundary escape for user-mode extensions). Exploitation is gated by the Xtensa relocatable PLT path and writable storage, and turning the out-of-range write into a useful primitive is non-trivial.
The fix adds a bound check rejecting any RELA entry whose r_offset >= tgt->sh_size, mirroring the existing validation in the shared branch.19h
