CVE-2026-57053 Jun 23, 16:40 LOW PATCH Monitor

Out-of-bounds reads of uninitialized memory in GNU libidn before version 1.44 are triggerable through the ToUnicode IDNA APIs when malformed internationalized domain name input is processed by the vulnerable function `idna_to_unicode_internal`. Applications statically or dynamically linked against affected libidn versions that pass attacker-influenced hostname strings to these APIs are exposed to integrity and availability disruption. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the successor library libidn2 is explicitly confirmed unaffected, providing a viable migration path for defenders.

CVE-2015-2059 Aug 12, 14:59 HIGH PATCH This Week

The stringprep_utf8_to_ucs4 function in libin before 1.31, as used in jabberd2, allows context-dependent attackers to read system memory and possibly have other unspecified impact via invalid UTF-8. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. This Buffer Overflow vulnerability could allow attackers to corrupt memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application.
