CVE-2026-18938
P11-kit: integer overflow in rpc attribute-array length calculation can under-allocate nested attribute storage on 32 bit systems
Record summary
CVE-2026-18938 has a selected CVSS score of 6.2 (medium).
Description
A flaw was found in p11-kit. A local attacker, or one with equivalent access to a reachable RPC channel, could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability. By sending specially crafted messages, the attacker can cause the system to miscalculate memory allocation for nested attributes. This leads to a memory corruption issue, specifically a heap out-of-bounds write, which can crash the p11-kit RPC parsing process, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). This vulnerability is only exploitable on 32 bit systems.
