Title
M17n-lib: uninitialized stack read in iso-2022 compound text utf-8 decoding
Summary
A flaw was found in m17n-lib. An attacker who supplies crafted input to an application processing ISO-2022 encoded text can cause the library to read uninitialized memory from the stack. If the application exposes or returns the decoded output, this flaw can result in unexpected behavior and limited information disclosure.

CVE-2026-103436 (GCVE-0-2026-103436)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-30 15:38 – Updated: 2026-10-02 16:20
VLAI
Summary
apcupsd through 3.14.14 discloses uninitialized stack memory in getupsvar() in src/cgi/upsfetch.c (used by upsstats.cgi, multimon.cgi, and upsfstats.cgi. On the single-field path, when the matched STATUS line has fewer than three whitespace-separated tokens, sscanf("%*s %*s %s", answer) performs no assignment but the function returns success, and thus the caller prints the uninitialized destination buffer into the HTTP response.

CVE-2026-91963 (GCVE-0-2026-91963)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-15 15:18 – Updated: 2026-09-15 15:58

Title
FreeRDP 2.0.0 through 3.30.0 Uninitialized Heap Memory Disclosure via urbdrc
Summary
FreeRDP versions before 3.31.0 contain an uninitialized heap memory disclosure vulnerability in the urbdrc USB redirection channel. A malicious RDP server can induce failing USB transfers to read uninitialized heap memory from the client, defeating ASLR and enabling remote code execution when chained with memory corruption vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-62986 (GCVE-0-2026-62986)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-25 18:27 – Updated: 2026-08-25 19:20

Title
OpenEXR: PyOpenEXR deep prefixed RGB stale lane disclosure
Summary
OpenEXR is the reference implementation and specification for the EXR image file format, widely used in the motion picture industry. In versions 3.3.0 through 3.3.12 and 3.4.0 through 3.4.13, the PyOpenEXR Python bindings return stale heap data when reading a crafted deep scanline EXR that uses layer-prefixed RGB channels. With the default channel coalescing (separate_channels=False), the wrapper groups channels such as left.R, left.G, and left.B into a single RGB sample array, but the lane-offset calculation in PyPart::setDeepSliceData() only recognizes the exact unprefixed names G, B, and A. As a result, prefixed channels like left.G and left.B are decoded into lane 0 while lanes 1 and 2 are left uninitialized and returned to Python. A Python application that reads untrusted deep EXR files through the default OpenEXR.File API and then logs, serializes, previews, or otherwise processes the resulting NumPy sample arrays may expose uninitialized same-process heap contents, in addition to receiving incorrect green and blue channel data. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.13 and 3.4.14.

CVE-2026-55990 (GCVE-0-2026-55990)

Title
Packet of death for a DNSCrypt misconfigured Unbound
Summary
In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.7.0 up to and including 1.25.1, when the 'dnscrypt:' clause lists more 'dnscrypt-provider-cert:' files than there are matching 'dnscrypt-secret-key:' files, Unbound fills only the matched prefix and leaves the tail slots at the '0xdb' fill that libsodium's allocator writes into every allocation. Unbound would then iterate over the number of cert files, not the actual slots, so it walks into a slot with garbage data filled with '0xdb' bytes. Any unauthenticated client that sends one UDP datagram of ≥ 68 bytes whose first 8 bytes are '0xdb' to 'dnscrypt-port' will use that garbage entry which leads to a garbage dereference killing the server. This is a silent faulty configuration that goes unnoticed until triggered with the right client query. Unbound needs to be compiled with DNSCrypt support ('--enable-dnscrypt').

Mitigation MIT-57
Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Ensure that critical variables are initialized before first use [REF-1485].

Mitigation
Build and Compilation

Strategy: Compilation or Build Hardening

Most compilers will complain about the use of uninitialized variables if warnings are turned on.

Mitigation
Implementation Operation

When using a language that does not require explicit declaration of variables, run or compile the software in a mode that reports undeclared or unknown variables. This may indicate the presence of a typographic error in the variable's name.

Mitigation
Requirements

Strategy: Language Selection

Choose a language that is not susceptible to these issues.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Mitigating technologies such as safe string libraries and container abstractions could be introduced.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
