CVE-2025-67873

Capstone doesn't check Skipdata length, leading to cs_insn.bytes heap buffer overflow

Published Dec 17, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 4.8 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Capstone is a disassembly framework. In versions 6.0.0-Alpha5 and prior, Skipdata length is not bounds-checked, so a user-provided skipdata callback can make cs_disasm/cs_disasm_iter memcpy more than 24 bytes into cs_insn.bytes, causing a heap buffer overflow in the disassembly path. Commit cbef767ab33b82166d263895f24084b75b316df3 fixes the issue.
