CVE-2026-41511
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
OpenMcdf is a fully .NET / C# library to manipulate Compound File Binary File Format files, also known as Structured Storage. Prior to version 3.1.3, OpenMcdf does not detect cycles in the directory entry red-black tree of a Compound File Binary (CFB) document. A crafted CFB file with a cycle in the LeftSiblingID / RightSiblingID chain causes Storage.EnumerateEntries() and Storage.OpenStream() to loop indefinitely, consuming the calling thread with no possibility of recovery via try/catch. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.3.

Antes de la versión 3.1.3, OpenMcdf no detecta ciclos en el árbol rojo-negro de entradas de directorio de un documento de archivo binario compuesto (CFB). Un archivo CFB manipulado con un ciclo en la cadena LeftSiblingID / RightSiblingID provoca que Storage.EnumerateEntries() y Storage.OpenStream() entren en un bucle indefinidamente, consumiendo el hilo de llamada sin posibilidad de recuperación mediante try/catch. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 3.1.3."
