Summary

The Blosc c-blosc2 compression library, before version 3.5.0, can be crashed when a program reads a slice from a specially crafted Blosc2 frame. An attacker with local access and no login needed can trigger a divide-by-zero that terminates the process, but only if a user takes action to open or read the malicious frame.

Read the original description

Blosc c-blosc2 before 3.5.0 contains a divide-by-zero vulnerability in blosc2_schunk_get_slice_buffer() in blosc/schunk.c that allows attackers to crash applications by supplying crafted frames with unchecked zero chunksize or blocksize values. Attackers can provide a malicious Blosc2 frame opened via blosc2_schunk_open() or blosc2_schunk_from_buffer() and read as a slice, raising SIGFPE and terminating the process.

Questions about CVE-2026-122330

Is CVE-2026-122330 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. CISA's SSVC assessment notes a proof of concept exists. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
