CVE-2026-40026
Description
A flaw was found in The Sleuth Kit's ISO9660 filesystem parser. An attacker can craft a malicious ISO image that exploits an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the parse_susp() function. This vulnerability occurs because the function trusts length fields from the disk image without proper validation, leading to reads beyond the intended data buffer. This can result in information disclosure and, in some cases, an infinite parsing loop, causing a denial of service.
