CVE-2026-31969

HTSlib is a library for reading and writing bioinformatics file formats. CRAM is a compressed format which stores DNA sequence alignment data using a variety of encodings and compression methods. When reading data encoded using the BYTEARRAYSTOP method, an out-by-one error in the...

CVE-2026-31967

HTSlib is a library for reading and writing bioinformatics file formats. CRAM is a compressed format which stores DNA sequence alignment data. In the cramdecodeslice function called while reading CRAM records, the value of the mate reference id field was not validated. Later use of this value, fo...

CVE-2026-31971 HTSlib CRAM decoder vulnerable to buffer overflow

HTSlib is a library for reading and writing bioinformatics file formats. CRAM is a compressed format which stores DNA sequence alignment data using a variety of encodings and compression methods.

CVE-2026-31963

HTSlib is a library for reading and writing bioinformatics file formats. CRAM is a compressed format which stores DNA sequence alignment data. As one method of removing redundant data, CRAM uses reference-based compression so that instead of storing the full sequence for each alignment record it...

CVE-2026-31964

HTSlib CRAM decoder has a NULL pointer dereference when decoding records with omitted sequence or quality data using CONST, XPACK, or XRLE encodings. This affects HTSlib and can cause a crash; fixes are in versions 1.23.1, 1.22.2, and 1.21.1. Upgrade to a fixed release to mitigate. The CVE entry ...
