Technical description

Calling tdelete on a sufficiently deep tree in the GNU C Library version 2.1 to 2.44 may write one pointer past the end of an alloca-allocated array on the stack, which may crash the application. The tdelete implementation keeps an explicit stack of parent nodes for rebalancing, which is grown as needed while descending the tree. Two rebalancing branches push an additional entry without checking the capacity, and write past the array when the stack is exactly full. Triggering this requires a node at a depth of exactly 40 (or 40 plus a multiple of 20), which implies a tree with at least a million nodes, so an attacker must drive a large number of insertions and deletions through an application that uses tsearch and tdelete. The written value is a pointer into a tree node and is not directly attacker controlled. No affected application in common distributions has been identified.

CVE-2026-910039.1 CRI

—

———A flaw has been found in D-Link DI-8300 16.07. The affected element is the function rzgl_asp of the file /rzgl.asp of the component CGI Service. This manipulation of the argument redirct_url causes stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been published and may be used.5h CVE-2026-910019.9 CRI

———A security flaw has been discovered in D-Link DI-8400 16.07. This affects the function ddns_asp of the file /ddns.asp of the component DDNS Configuration. Performing a manipulation of the argument serv/user/host/wild/mx/bmx/cust/ip results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.5h CVE-2026-908243.3 LOW

—

———A vulnerability has been found in GPAC 26.07.0. Affected is the function gf_sg_dom_event_bubble of the file src/scenegraph/dom_events.c of the component MP4Box. The manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version abi-16.23 is able to address this issue. The identifier of the patch is 9eb40df4448b88d6a6ce3454657c06f47eff0b24. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.14h CVE-2026-54559—

———PocketSphinx is a small speech recognizer. Prior to 5.1.1, the trie language-model loaders in src/lm/ngram_model_trie.c do not adequately validate boundary conditions in ARPA, DMP, and binary format headers, and the acoustic-model loaders in src/mdef.c and src/util/bio.c use sscanf with unbounded string fields. Loading an invalid, corrupted, or malicious language or acoustic model can therefore cause stack or heap buffer overflows and memory corruption. An attacker who can write to a directory selected by POCKETSPHINX_PATH can replace or add a model file that PocketSphinx later loads; users of PocketSphinx 5prealpha have no backported patch and must migrate to the fixed release. This issue is fixed in version 5.1.1.15h CVE-2026-890204.3 MED

———MikroTik RouterOS before 7.23.4 (long-term) and 7.24.2 (stable) contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the mtget binary's TFTP RRQ builder function that allows authenticated users to crash the mtget worker process by supplying a URL path of 507 bytes or more to the /tool fetch command; the first write outside the 528-byte buffer occurs at 505 bytes. Attackers can trigger the overflow by issuing a fetch command with a crafted tftp:// URL path, which causes an unbounded rep movsb instruction to overwrite saved registers at a deterministic offset, crashing the process without requiring a reachable TFTP server or elevated privileges beyond read-only group membership.16h CVE-2026-906939.9 CRI
