CVE-2026-42476

Heap OOB Read in Open CASCADE STL ASCII Parser Causes DoS and Info Disclosure

Published May 1, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Two heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in the STL ASCII file parser in Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) V8_0_0_rc5 exist in RWStl_Reader::ReadAscii because buffers returned by Standard_ReadLineBuffer::ReadLine() are not properly length-validated before strncasecmp or direct byte access. User-assisted attackers can trigger these issues by persuading a victim to open a crafted STL file with extremely short lines, resulting in a denial of service or possible information disclosure.
