Detailsinfo A vulnerability was found in sleuthkit The Sleuth Kit up to 4.14.0. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects the function parse_susp of the component Image Parser. The manipulation of the argument len_id/len_des/len_src with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes: The Sleuth Kit through 4.14.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the ISO9660 filesystem parser where the parse_susp() function trusts len_id, len_des, and len_src fields from the disk image to memcpy data into a stack buffer without verifying that the source data falls within the parsed SUSP block. An attacker can craft a malicious ISO image that causes reads past the end of the SUSP data buffer, and a zero-length SUSP entry can trigger an infinite parsing loop. The weakness was published with Mobasi Security Team. The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-40026 since 04/08/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim.
