- Also known as: EUVD-2026-110483, GHSA-VVJH-VCH2-576W
- Severity: CVSS 6.9 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

## Summary

libpff, a library for reading Microsoft Outlook PST, OST, and PAB files, along with tools and bindings built on it such as pffexport and pypff, is affected. A specially crafted data file can cause these programs to read memory beyond the intended heap buffer, which may expose nearby memory contents or crash the application.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- libyal libpff: through 20260926

## Description

libpff through 20260926 contains an off-by-one bounds check in libpff_table_read_6c_record_entries that allows attackers to trigger a heap out-of-bounds read via crafted 6c table record entries. Attackers can supply crafted PST, OST or PAB files to applications like pffexport or pypff to read adjacent heap memory or cause crashes.
