| Impact | Can lead to buffer overflows, incorrect security checks, or unexpected behavior that may be exploitable for code execution. With a CVSS score of 5.5 (MEDIUM), this represents a moderate risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker provides a large numeric value that, when processed, wraps around to a small value, causing an undersized buffer allocation followed by an overflow. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 14, 2026
A flaw was found in libgepub, a library used to read EPUB files. The software mishandles file size calculations when opening specially crafted EPUB files, leading to incorrect memory allocations. This issue causes the application to crash. Known affected usage includes desktop services like Tumbler, which may process malicious files automatically when browsing directories. While no direct remote attack vectors are confirmed, any application using libgepub to parse user-supplied EPUB content could be vulnerable to a denial of service.
