CVE-2026-8295

MEDIUM

Integer overflow in simdjson

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

An integer overflow vulnerability in the simdjson document-builder API allows incorrect buffer size calculations in "string_builder::escape_and_append()" when processing very large input strings on platforms with limited "size_t" width (e.g., 32-bit builds). The overflow can cause insufficient buffer allocation, leading to out-of-bounds memory reads in SIMD routines and potentially resulting in information disclosure, memory corruption, or malformed JSON output. This vulnerability has been fixed in 4.6.4 release
