CVE-2026-56455

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

HCL DFXAnalytics is affected by a Buffer Overflow vulnerability that can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS). The application fails to properly validate input sizes, allowing an attacker to pass an excessive amount of information into a memory container, which can cause the system to crash or become unresponsive. To mitigate this flaw, comprehensive input length checks must be implemented and enforced on both the client and server sides.

La aplicación no valida correctamente los tamaños de entrada, lo que permite a un atacante pasar una cantidad excesiva de información a un contenedor de memoria, lo que puede provocar que el sistema falle o deje de responder. Para mitigar esta falla, se deben implementar y aplicar comprobaciones exhaustivas de la longitud de entrada tanto en el lado del cliente como en el del servidor."
