Python -- use-after-free vulnerability in decompressors under memory pressure

Seth Larson reports: There is a CRITICAL severity vulnerability affecting CPython. Use-after-free UAF was possible in the lzma.LZMADecompressor, bz2.BZ2Decompressor, and gzip.GzipFile when a memory allocation fails with a MemoryError and the decompression instance is re-used. This scenario can be...

zlib: zlib: Memory corruption via buffer overflow in Zlib::GzipReader

A flaw was found in zlib, a Ruby interface for the zlib compression/decompression library. The Zlib::GzipReader component contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. This occurs because the zstreambufferungets function does not ensure sufficient memory capacity before moving existing data, which ca...

Multiple Heap Buffer Overflows in Orthanc DICOM Server

Overview Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Orthanc DICOM Server version, 1.12.10 and earlier, that affect image decoding and HTTP request handling components. These vulnerabilities include heap buffer overflows, out-of-bounds reads, and resource exhaustion vulnerabilities that may...

CVE-2026-39414

CVE-2026-39414 affects MinIO’s S3 Select CSV parsing. The CSV reader’s nextSplit() calls ReadBytes('\n') without a size limit, causing unbounded buffering and memory exhaustion (OOM) when processing long lines; a file with no newline can trigger a single large allocation. This can be exploited by...

JLSEC-2026-61

An arbitrary file write vulnerability was found in GNU gzip's zgrep utility. When zgrep is applied on the attacker's chosen file name for example, a crafted file name, this can overwrite an attacker's content to an arbitrary attacker-selected file. This flaw occurs due to insufficient validation...

curl: Unbounded GZIP Decompression Leading to Event-Loop Starvation

When libcurl is configured to decompress HTTP responses via CURLOPTACCEPTENCODING or the --compressed CLI flag, it lacks decompression bounds checking or a mechanism to yield execution during massive expansion tasks. If an attacker provides a highly compressed payload zip bomb, libcurl's underlyi...
