Flatpak: flatpak: buffer overflow in oci delta stream path names on 32-bit systems
Historical advisory recorded 11 Nov 2026 04:25:37 UTC. Read the latest advisory.
cve-program · CVE-2026-96280
PublishedThe OCI delta stream parser read sizes as guint64 but passed them to GLib I/O and allocation functions expecting gsize (32 bits on 32-bit systems), causing undersized allocations while subsequent operations use the original 64-bit size, leading to heap buffer overflows. An attacker controlling an OCI registry can craft a delta stream that triggers this during flatpak install/update, potentially achieving code execution on 32-bit systems.
