Technical description

uri-js through 4.4.1 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the removeDotSegments function that loops infinitely when a path segment begins with Unicode line or paragraph separators. Attackers can trigger this by calling removeDotSegments directly or through normalize/resolve functions with IRI handling enabled, causing the Node.js event loop to block indefinitely until heap exhaustion.

——0Pod::Text versions before 6.1.1 for Perl allow CPU and memory exhaustion formatting a POD document whose =over nesting drives the margin to the output width. Each =over adds its indent to the margin, which wrap() subtracts from the output width to get the space available for text. When that space reaches zero, the line-splitting substitution matches the empty string, and the loop consumes no input while appending the margin padding on every pass. Formatting an attacker-supplied POD document never returns, and the output grows until memory is exhausted.8h CVE-2026-616332.0 LOW

——5NanoMQ is an MQTT broker. Prior to 0.24.14, the NanoMQ client function nni_mqtt_msg_decode_unsubscribe() in nng/src/supplemental/mqtt/mqtt_codec.c does not handle a failed read_uint16() while counting topics in a malformed UNSUBSCRIBE packet. A zero-length topic followed by trailing data can leave buf.curpos unchanged while topic_count continues to increase, allowing a malicious MQTT broker to hang a connecting MQTT 3.1.1 client, consume CPU and memory, and repeatedly deny service when automatic reconnection is enabled. The broker-side nmq_unsubinfo_decode path is not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.24.14.1d CVE-2026-844467.5 HIG

——12libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to 1.23.2, crafted HEIF sequence timing and edit-list data can make Track::init_sample_timing_table() compute a logical m_num_output_samples value that exceeds the uint32_t counters used by Track_Visual::decode_next_image_sample() and Track::get_next_sample_raw_data(). The resulting comparison can never reach the oversized output count, causing non-terminating decode or raw-sample loops and bypassing max_sequence_frames. The same sequence path repeatedly calls Box_stts::get_sample_duration() and allocates Chunk::m_sample_ranges and Track::m_presentation_timeline outside MemoryHandle accounting, allowing severe CPU and memory exhaustion from a small file. This issue is fixed in version 1.23.2.2d CVE-2026-201548.6 HIG

——10A vulnerability in the system rate-limiting process for syslog message 419002 of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause high CPU utilization on an affected device, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to improper rate limiting for syslog message 419002. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a flood of TCP synchronization (SYN) packets to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause high CPU utilization, resulting in performance degradation. 2d CVE-2026-629496.5 MED

——10AsyncSSH is a Python package which provides an asynchronous client and server implementation of the SSHv2 protocol on top of the Python asyncio framework. Prior to 2.24.0, _process_channel_open and _process_channel_open_confirmation in asyncssh/connection.py accept a peer-supplied send_pktsize value of zero. When channel data reaches SSHChannel._flush_send_buf in asyncssh/channel.py, the zero value causes each loop iteration to slice and remove zero bytes without reducing the send window, leaving the synchronous loop permanently true with no await point. A malicious SSH server can trigger the client path through SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN_CONFIRMATION before the first channel write, while an authenticated client can trigger the server path through SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN and freeze every current and future connection handled by the process. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.24.0.3d CVE-2026-818767.5 HIG

——15HAPI FHIR is a complete implementation of the HL7 FHIR standard for healthcare interoperability in Java. Prior to version 6.9.12, SHCParser in org.hl7.fhir.r5/src/main/java/org/hl7/fhir/r5/elementmodel/SHCParser.java can enter an infinite loop while processing attacker-controlled Smart Health Card JWT content whose header contains zip: "DEF" and whose raw-DEFLATE payload is empty or truncated. SHCParser.decodeJWT() reaches SHCParser.inflate(), where Inflater.inflate() can return zero while Inflater.finished() remains false and Inflater.needsInput() is true. The loop also lacks an Inflater.needsDictionary() termination check, SHCParser.decompress() contains the same zero-progress pattern, and ResourceChecker.java can reach SHC parsing during file-format detection. A malformed validation request can pin a JVM worker thread indefinitely, and concurrent requests can exhaust all validation workers. This issue is fixed in version 6.9.12.3d
