{"id":"AZL-105972","summary":"CVE-2026-75819 affecting package aspell 0.60.8.1-1","details":"GNU Aspell contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in ReadOnlyDict::load() in readonly_ws.cpp. When loading a binary .rws dictionary file, it uses offset fields from the file header as byte indices into a heap buffer without validating their bounds. An attacker can trigger this by convincing a user to run aspell with a crafted dictionary file supplied through --master, --dict-dir, or configuration options, leading to heap memory disclosure or a denial of service via application crash.\n\n\n\nThis issue was fixed in commit 941953b25031bc9104e83f58e138a664b8dedc3f which will be released in version 0.60.8.3.","modified":"2026-10-07T14:16:55.005071053Z","published":"2026-10-06T11:17:29Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-75819"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-75819"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"aspell","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/aspell"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"0.60.8.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-105972.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
