CVE-2026-31973

SAMtools includes a NULL pointer dereference in the cram-size path of CRAM header handling: if cram_decode_compression_header() returns an error, a NULL pointer dereference may occur, crashing the program. This affects 1.17+ before fixes. The available connected advisories confirm fixes in versio...

CVE-2026-31973 NULL pointer dereference in samtools cram-size

SAMtools is a program for reading, manipulating and writing bioinformatics file formats. Starting in version 1.17, in the cram-size command, used to write information about how well CRAM files are compressed, a check to see if the cramdecodecompressionheader was missing. If the function returned ...

CVE-2026-31966

CVE-2026-31966 affects HTSlib’s CRAM reader. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of the feature data series in cram_decode_seq(), allowing data to be copied from before the start or after the end of the stored reference into output buffers or the SAM MD tag. This can lead to info...

CVE-2026-31962

HTSlib is a library for reading and writing bioinformatics file formats. CRAM is a compressed format which stores DNA sequence alignment data. While most alignment records store DNA sequence and quality values, the format also allows them to omit this data in certain cases to save space. Due to...
