In the case where i + 1 == optlen, this causes an\n  out-of-bounds read, accessing memory past the optlen boundary\n  (either reading beyond the stack buffer _opt or the\n  following payload).","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-05-06T11:27:59.798+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T19:16:23.381+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
