CVE-2026-87795
Description
A flaw was found in zstd-jni. This vulnerability occurs due to insufficient validation of offset and length parameters within the ZstdDictCompress constructor. An attacker can exploit this by providing untrusted values, leading to an out-of-bounds memory read. This can result in the disclosure of sensitive native heap memory and cause the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to crash, leading to a denial of service.
Statement
Red Hat is aware of an out-of-bounds read in zstd-jni caused by insufficient validation of offset and length values in the ZstdDictCompress constructor. An attacker who can influence these values may cause a JVM crash and potentially disclose native heap data. Affected Red Hat products are tracked through their existing remediation workflow.
Mitigation
Update com.github.luben/zstd-jni to version 1.5.7-14 or later. Until updated, do not pass attacker-controlled offset or length values to ZstdDictCompress.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
