CVE Summary Severity CVSS EPSS Priority Signals
CVE-2026-42010 Authentication bypass in GnuTLS affects servers that enable the RSA-PSK key exchange, where the PSK identity comparison treats a username containing an embedded NUL byte as equal to a legitimate truncated username. Remote attackers can send a crafted username to circumvent pre-shared-key authentication and gain unauthorized access. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the EPSS probability is low (0.15%), and CISA SSVC scores exploitation as none - indicating high theoretical severity but no observed real-world abuse. CRITICAL 9.8 0.1% 49
CVE-2026-9605 Heap-based buffer overflow in GNU LibreDWG through version 0.13.4.8160 lets an attacker corrupt heap memory by getting the library to parse a malicious DWG file, specifically a 2004-format file with a crafted compressed section processed via the dwgbmp thumbnail-extraction utility. The flaw stems from missing bounds validation in the decompression routine and is reachable without authentication or user privileges per its CVSS vector; impact is rated low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 7.3). Publicly available exploit code exists (a proof-of-concept DWG sample), but the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, and an official upstream fix has been committed. MEDIUM 5.5 0.1% 48
PoC
CVE-2026-42009 Denial of service in GnuTLS affects the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) packet reordering logic, where the comparator function fails to correctly handle packets with duplicate sequence numbers. Remote unauthenticated attackers can send specially crafted DTLS packet sequences to trigger unstable ordering or undefined behavior, causing service disruption. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is rated CVSS 7.5 (High) for availability impact only. HIGH 7.5 0.1% 38
CVE-2026-48829 Unauthenticated denial of service in GNU SASL before version 2.2.3 occurs through a NULL pointer dereference in the DIGEST-MD5 authentication mechanism. Remote attackers can crash both client and server applications by sending a malformed authentication token that lacks an equals sign character, causing the getsubopt.c parser to dereference a NULL pointer. HIGH 7.5 0.0% 38
CVE-2026-5435 Out-of-bounds write in GNU C Library 2.2+ allows remote unauthenticated attackers to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code through specially crafted TSIG DNS records processed by deprecated ns_printrrf, ns_printrr, or fp_nquery functions. While these functions are deprecated, any application still using them for DNS record printing remains vulnerable to network-based attacks with low complexity and no authentication barriers. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the deprecated status suggests limited real-world exposure despite the network attack vector. HIGH 7.3 0.0% 37
CVE-2026-41992 Out-of-bounds read in GNU gzip's LZH decompression logic allows an unprivileged local attacker to disclose memory contents by supplying two specially crafted archives - an LZW file followed by an LZH file - in a single gzip -d invocation. The shared global decompression array, never reinitialized between files in the same process invocation, is poisoned by the LZW pass and subsequently causes the LZH decoder to read past the end of the allocated buffer, yielding high confidentiality impact per the CVSS 4.0 vector (VC:H). No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; the fix exists as an upstream source commit only, with no confirmed packaged release. MEDIUM 6.9 0.1% 35
CVE-2026-77219 Integer overflow in GNU Emacs PBM/PPM/PGM image loader (all versions before 31.0.91) enables heap memory disclosure when a user opens a crafted image file. Signed integer multiplication of image height, width, and channel count wraps to a negative value for sufficiently large inputs, bypassing the allocated-buffer bounds check and allowing the pixel reader to over-read heap contents, which are then rendered on-screen as color values. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; however, the VulnCheck-reported CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflects high confidentiality and availability impact under local conditions with user interaction. MEDIUM 6.9 0.1% 35
CVE-2026-56389 Arbitrary program execution in GNU Bison (confirmed in 3.8.2) is triggered when a developer or automated pipeline runs `bison --html` on an attacker-controlled grammar file. The `%define tool.xsltproc` directive - intended to specify the XSLT processor binary for HTML report generation - is accepted without any restriction and passed directly to `execvp()`, allowing complete substitution of the transformation executable. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack surface is relevant to developer workstations, build servers, and CI/CD pipelines that process untrusted grammar files. MEDIUM 6.8 0.2% 34
CVE-2026-6861 Memory corruption in GNU Emacs SVG/CSS processing allows local attackers to trigger denial of service or information disclosure by convincing users to open specially crafted SVG files. The vulnerability requires user interaction (file opening) and local access, but results in significant impact including service disruption and potential data leakage through memory corruption exploitation. MEDIUM 6.1 0.0% 31
CVE-2026-90622 Null pointer dereference in GNU libredwg 0.13.4's Layer table encoding function allows a local attacker to crash any application built on the library by supplying a DWG file whose LAYER entity has no material handle assigned. The root cause is commit 27118c40 ( LOW 1.9 0.2% 30

CVE-2026-9500 Heap-based buffer overflow in GNU LibreDWG's read_2004_compressed_section function (src/decode.c) exposes users of the dwgread utility to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise when processing a maliciously crafted DWG file. All released versions from 0.1 through 0.14 are affected, and a publicly available proof-of-concept exploit file exists on GitHub. No vendor patch has been issued; the project has not responded to the responsible disclosure despite early notification via issue report. LOW 1.9 0.0% 30
PoC No patch
CVE-2026-9501 Reachable assertion (CWE-617) in GNU LibreDWG's `decompress_R2004_section` function allows a local low-privileged attacker to crash the `dwgread` utility by supplying a malformed R2004-format DWG file with out-of-bounds decompression parameters. All releases from 0.1 through 0.14 are confirmed affected. Publicly available exploit code exists, though EPSS sits at 0.01% (2nd percentile) and no active exploitation is confirmed - consistent with the strictly local, no-code-execution impact profile. LOW 1.9 0.0% 30
PoC
CVE-2026-9502 Heap-based buffer overflow in GNU LibreDWG's dwgread utility (versions 0.1 through 0.14) allows a local attacker with low privileges to corrupt heap memory by supplying a specially crafted R2004-format DWG file. The vulnerable function decompress_R2004_section in src/decode.c fails to validate decompression offset and size parameters before writing, enabling out-of-bounds heap writes with partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists as a crafted DWG file; however, no active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), EPSS is 0.01% (2nd percentile), and the local-only attack vector sharply constrains real-world risk. LOW 1.9 0.0% 30
PoC
CVE-2026-9503 Null pointer dereference in GNU LibreDWG (all versions through 0.14) allows a local, low-privileged attacker to crash any application that uses the library to parse a maliciously crafted DWG file, resulting in a denial-of-service condition with no confidentiality or integrity impact. The affected code path is within the DWG 2004 compressed-section handler in src/decode.c, where missing bounds checks on section entry address fields permit invalid memory access. A public proof-of-concept exploit file exists; however, the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, EPSS sits at 0.01% (2nd percentile), and SSVC rates it non-automatable with only partial technical impact, collectively indicating negligible in-the-wild exploitation risk at time of analysis. LOW 1.9 0.0% 30
PoC
CVE-2026-9529 Null pointer dereference in GNU LibreDWG's dwggrep utility crashes the application when processing a maliciously crafted DWG file. The vulnerability resides in the match_BLOCK_HEADER function within dwggrep.c and affects all tracked releases from version 0.1 through 0.14. A local authenticated attacker can exploit this to cause denial of service against the dwggrep utility; no publicly available exploit code exists for confidentiality or integrity compromise, consistent with the CVSS impact scores of VC:N/VI:N/VA:L. Publicly available exploit code exists (no KEV listing), though EPSS at 0.01% reflects negligible widespread exploitation probability. LOW 1.9 0.0% 30
