CVE-2026-33666

Zserio: Integer Overflow in BitStreamReader on 32-bit platforms

Published Apr 24, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Zserio is a framework for serializing structured data with a compact and efficient way with low overhead. Prior to 2.18.1, in BitStreamReader.h readBytes() / readString(), the setBitPosition() bounds check receives the overflowed value and is completely bypassed. The code then reads len bytes (512 MB) from a buffer that is only a few bytes long, causing a segmentation fault. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.18.1.
