02 Description

libyang: lyb_read_string() integer overflow → heap buffer overflow

03 Exploitation and scoring

Exploitation

Public exploit code exists. CISA's assessment records a public proof of concept. That is not a report of exploitation in the wild.

SSVC decision

ExploitationpocPublic proof-of-concept exploit code exists. Not a report of exploitation in the wild.
AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.

CISA publishes the decision points, not a final SSVC decision. The decision also depends on mission and well-being impact, which is a property of your deployment rather than of the vulnerability.

EPSS probability

0.52% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.

EPSS percentile

Ranks above 42.1% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.

NVD base score

7.5 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

NVD CVSS vector

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

NVD analysis status

Deferred. NVD last modified this record on 2026-08-07.

Red Hat severity

Important. Red Hat's rating for its own products, not a CVSS rating.

Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.
