CVE-2026-41992 Global Buffer Overflow in GNU gzip

GNU gzip contains a global buffer overflow vulnerability in the LZH decompression logic caused by improper reuse of shared global state between different decompression formats within a single execution. GNU gzip maintains a global array that is shared across the LZ77, LZW, and LZH decompression...

CVE-2026-41991

CVE-2026-41991 affects GNU gzip’s gzexe utility, where insecure temporary file handling creates a TOCTOU vulnerability. If mktemp is unavailable in PATH, gzexe constructs a PID-based temporary path without exclusive access or existence checks. A local attacker can pre-create the predicted path as...

CVE-2026-41991

GNU gzip contains a vulnerability in the gzexe utility related to insecure temporary file handling. When the mktemp utility is not available in the user’s PATH, gzexe falls back to constructing a temporary file path based solely on the process ID PID. This predictable filename is created without...

CVE-2026-41991 Predictable Temporary File in GNU gzip

GNU gzip contains a vulnerability in the gzexe utility related to insecure temporary file handling. When the mktemp utility is not available in the user’s PATH, gzexe falls back to constructing a temporary file path based solely on the process ID PID. This predictable filename is created without...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNU gzip affected versions not specified Description An issue exists in the LZH decompression logic where shared global state is improperly reused between different decompression formats during a single execution. The software maintains a glob...

PT-2026-53255

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNU gzip affected versions not specified Description The gzexe utility handles temporary files insecurely. If the mktemp utility is missing from the user's PATH, gzexe generates a temporary file path using only the process ID PID. Because this...

PT-2026-56493

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions node-tar versions prior to 7.5.19 Description Insufficient enforcement of hard upper bounds on total decompressed data, entry counts, or decompression ratio within extraction and parsing paths, such as src/extract.ts, allows a crafted gzip bom...

fluent-plugin-opentelemetry Has Denial of Service (DoS) via Large Payloads and Decompression Bombs in `in_opentelemetry`

The fluent-plugin-opentelemetry plugin specifically the inopentelemetry HTTP input lacked strict size limits on incoming requests. It was discovered that the plugin read the entire request body and decompressed payloads into memory without enforcing maximum size thresholds. If the OpenTelemetry...

GHSA-J9CW-HWQF-85W7 Fluentd is Vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via Gzip Decompression Bomb in `in_http` and `in_forward`

Fluentd's inhttp and inforward plugins support receiving gzip-compressed data. While Fluentd correctly enforces size limits on the incoming compressed payloads e.g., via bodysizelimit or chunksizelimit, it was discovered that there is no limit enforced on the size of the decompressed data. If a...

[SECURITY] Fedora 44 Update: perl-IO-Compress-2.221-1.fc44

This distribution provides a Perl interface to allow reading and writing of compressed data created with the zlib and bzip2 libraries. IO-Compress supports reading and writing of bzip2, RFC 1950, RFC 1951, RFC 1952 i.e. gzip and zip files/buffers. The following modules used to be distributed...

PT-2026-53004

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Fluentd versions prior to 1.19.3 Description The in http and in forward plugins support gzip-compressed data but only enforce size limits on the compressed payloads via settings like body size limit and chunk size limit. Because no limit is...

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the Package.Unmarshal function. An attacker can cause the server to exhaust system memory and crash by submitting a specially crafted gzip-compressed APK payload with a high...

Rekor has an OOM Condition due to Unbounded gzip Decompression in Alpine APK Parsing Logic

Description The Package.Unmarshal function in pkg/types/alpine/apk.go decompresses the signature and control gzip members of an APK file into in-memory buffers without bounding the total decompressed size. The existing maxapkmetadatasize check default 1MB is only applied to individual tar entry...
