CVE-2026-83959 Sep 03, 17:35 HIGH This Week

Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Substance 3D Sampler enables arbitrary code execution within the current user's security context when a victim opens a specially crafted malicious file. The vulnerability resides in file-parsing logic (CWE-122), and successful exploitation grants full C:H/I:H/A:H impact without requiring elevated privileges on the victim's system. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; Adobe has released a security advisory (APSB26-121) addressing the issue.

CVE-2026-78689 Sep 02, 15:40 CRITICAL PATCH Act Now

Heap out-of-bounds write in NGINX JavaScript (njs) xml.exclusiveC14n() allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash NGINX worker processes or cause unbounded memory growth, with theoretical code execution that has not been demonstrated. The vulnerability is directly reachable in the nginxinc/nginx-saml reference SAML SP implementation, which passes untrusted InclusiveNamespaces/@PrefixList values to xml.exclusiveC14n() before signature verification completes - meaning no valid SAML signature is required to trigger it. Both the njs (default) and QuickJS engines are affected, with differing crash-vs-leak behavior, but both result in denial of service. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-84269 Sep 01, 15:19 MEDIUM This Month

Heap buffer overflow in the gvfs AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) backend allows a malicious AFP server to crash the gvfsd-afp process on connecting clients, resulting in denial of service. When a client mounts an AFP share, the DSI (Data Stream Interface) read path accepts a server-supplied length value without validating it against the pre-allocated reply buffer, enabling the server to write past buffer boundaries. This affects RHEL 6 through 10 and requires user interaction to mount a malicious share; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the gvfs SFTP backend (gvfsd-sftp) exposes GNOME desktop users to process-level denial of service or potential arbitrary code execution when connecting to a malicious SFTP server. The read_reply() function trusts the server-supplied response length without validating it against the client's allocated buffer, allowing a rogue server to overflow adjacent heap memory in the gvfsd-sftp daemon. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing is confirmed at time of analysis, but the high CVSS score of 8.8 and the C:H/I:H/A:H triad reflect worst-case RCE potential once a user mounts an attacker-controlled share.

Heap-based buffer overflow in FLVMeta versions up to 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to trigger a crash via a crafted FLV file that manipulates the length argument passed to amf_string_new() during AMF string processing. A public proof-of-concept exists, but the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 reflects the strictly limited impact - low-severity availability disruption only, with no confidentiality or integrity consequences. The project maintainer has publicly disputed that the reported bugs are practically exploitable, further tempering the real-world risk assessment.

CVE-2026-82591 Aug 30, 22:45 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Heap-based buffer overflow in Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) through version 6.0.2 allows a local low-privilege attacker to corrupt heap memory by supplying a crafted MD5 mesh file. The root cause, confirmed by the patch diff, is that `MakeDataUnique()` pre-allocated only `faces × 3` vertex slots when the output can grow to `numOrigVerts + faces × 3` - meshes declaring more original vertices than face corners overflow the allocation. No public exploit exists and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV; impact is locally bounded with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 4.8.

Heap-based buffer overflow in openNDS before 11.0.0 allows an unauthenticated attacker positioned on the captive portal network to crash the openNDS daemon and potentially execute arbitrary code remotely. The flaw is in the redirect_to_splashpage function in http_microhttpd.c, where the query string buffer is under-allocated at QUERYMAXLEN bytes despite URL encoding expanding input by up to 1.5x - when a crafted request triggers the redirect path, the encoded data overflows the heap allocation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the upstream fix commit is publicly available and exposes the exact vulnerable code path.

Remote code execution in WatchGuard Fireware OS is possible via a heap overflow (CWE-122) in the iked (IKE/IPsec key management) process, letting a remote unauthenticated attacker run arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network traffic to an affected Firebox firewall. The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.3 (critical), reflecting network-reachable, no-privilege, no-interaction exploitation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not in CISA KEV, but the pre-authentication nature and the perimeter role of the affected device make this a high-priority patching item.

Heap-based buffer overflow in WatchGuard Fireware OS's iked process allows an authenticated administrator to crash the IKE daemon by saving a specially crafted configuration, resulting in denial of service and disruption of IPsec VPN services. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with PR:H reflects the high-privilege requirement, meaning exploitation is gated behind valid administrator credentials. No active exploitation has been identified (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code is known at time of analysis.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Substance 3D Sampler versions 5.1.3 and earlier enables arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the current user when a crafted file is opened. The vulnerability stems from improper bounds checking during file parsing (CWE-122), allowing a heap memory region to be overwritten with attacker-controlled data. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, but the file-based delivery vector makes it well-suited to phishing or watering-hole campaigns targeting 3D content creators.
