CVE-2026-48959

A flaw was found in perl-IO-Compress. An attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the IO::Uncompress::Unzip module's fastForward function by providing a specially crafted zip file. When a named entry is extracted, a per-byte read loop occurs, leading to CPU exhaustion. This can result in a Denial ...

CVE-2026-48959

IO::Uncompress::Unzip versions before 2.220 for Perl allow CPU exhaustion via per-byte read loop in fastForward. fastForward compares length $offset the digit count of the offset, 1 to 19 against the chunk size $c instead of $offset itself, so $c shrinks from 16 KiB to 1-19 bytes per iteration...

CVE-2026-48959

CVE-2026-48959 affects IO::Uncompress::Unzip for Perl prior to 2.220. The issue is a per-byte read loop in fastForward that mis-compares the offset length to the chunk size, causing CPU exhaustion as it iterates from 16 KiB down to 1–19 bytes per step. Reading a named entry from an attacker-suppl...
