CVE-2026-50161
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
libre is a generic library for real-time communications with asynchronous input and output support. Prior to 4.8.1, the websock_decode() function in src/websock/websock.c contains an integer overflow when validating a masked WebSocket frame that uses the 64-bit extended length encoding. The expression 4 + hdr->len can wrap when hdr->len is close to UINT64_MAX, causing the mbuf_get_left() bounds check to pass. The subsequent XOR unmasking loop then writes beyond the heap buffer. Applications using websock_accept() or websock_accept_proto() to implement a WebSocket server are affected, and exploitation can cause attacker-controlled heap corruption or denial of service after the HTTP WebSocket upgrade handshake. This issue is fixed in version 4.8.1.

"value": "libre es una biblioteca genérica para comunicaciones en tiempo real con soporte de entrada y salida asíncrona. Antes de la 4.8.1, la función websock_decode() en src/websock/websock.c contiene un desbordamiento de entero al validar una trama WebSocket enmascarada que utiliza la codificación de longitud extendida de 64 bits. La expresión 4 + hdr -> len puede desbordarse cuando hdr -> len está cerca de UINT64_MAX, haciendo que la comprobación de límites de mbuf_get_left() pase. El bucle de desenmascaramiento XOR subsiguiente luego escribe más allá del búfer de montón. Las aplicaciones que utilizan websock_accept() o websock_accept_proto() para implementar un servidor WebSocket se ven afectadas, y la explotación puede causar corrupción de montón controlada por el atacante o denegación de servicio después del handshake de actualización HTTP WebSocket. Este problema está corregido en la versión 4.8.1."
