CVE-2026-50252

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.4.22 up to and including 1.25.1, the UDP source port is used as a secrecy element to increase DNS transaction entropy. When SO_REUSEPORT is enabled (default) and load balancing depends on the source port and IP address, this secrecy can be undermined. On startup Unbound pa...

Concurrent Ruby: `ReentrantReadWriteLock` read-count overflow grants a write lock without exclusivity

Summary Concurrent::ReentrantReadWriteLock can incorrectly grant a write lock after one thread acquires the read lock 32,768 times. The lock stores a thread's local read and write hold counts in one integer. The low 15 bits are used for the read hold count, and bit 15 is used as WRITELOCKHELD...

CVE-2017-17426

The malloc function in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.26 could return a memory block that is too small if an attempt is made to allocate an object whose size is close to SIZEMAX, potentially leading to a subsequent heap overflow. This occurs because the per-thread cache aka tcache feature...
