{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-115775","details":"Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. Prior to 26.10.0rc1, the twisted.words.xish.domish ExpatElementStream parser allows an unauthenticated remote peer to keep a container element open while continuously adding child elements. The parser retains the unfinished stanza as an in-memory tree without a byte or element-count limit, and XMPP pre-authentication stream parsing exposes this behavior before credentials are accepted. A single connection can therefore exhaust server memory and terminate the process. This issue is fixed in version 26.10.0rc1.","modified":"2026-10-27T04:17:48.937233538Z","published":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-115775"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-115775"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-115775"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/twisted/twisted/commit/8873814bec8288e2466fad4d2c4d64039beb88b0"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/12751"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/twisted/twisted/releases/tag/twisted-26.10.0rc1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/twisted/twisted/security/advisories/GHSA-3476-c5c2-fr73"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"twisted","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/twisted?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["13.0.0-1ubuntu1","13.2.0-1ubuntu1","13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2","13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm1","13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm2","13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python-twisted","binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"},{"binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3","binary_name":"python-twisted-bin"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-conch","binary_version":"1:13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-core","binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-lore","binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"},{"binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3","binary_name":"python-twisted-mail"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-names","binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-news","binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-runner","binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"},{"binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3","binary_name":"python-twisted-web"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-words","binary_version":"13.2.0-1ubuntu1.2+esm3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-115775.json"}},{"package":{"name":"twisted","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/twisted?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["15.2.1-1ubuntu2","15.5.0-1","15.5.0-2","15.5.0-2ubuntu1","15.5.0-4","16.0.0~pre1-1","16.0.0~pre1-1ubuntu1","16.0.0~pre1-2ubuntu1","16.0.0~pre1-3","16.0.0-1","16.0.0-1ubuntu0.2","16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4","16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm1","16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted"},{"binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted-bin"},{"binary_version":"1:16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted-conch"},{"binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted-core"},{"binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted-mail"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-names","binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2"},{"binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted-news"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-runner","binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-web","binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-words","binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2"},{"binary_version":"16.0.0-1ubuntu0.4+esm2","binary_name":"python3-twisted"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-115775.json"}},{"package":{"name":"twisted","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/twisted?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["16.6.0-2ubuntu3","17.9.0-1","17.9.0-2","17.9.0-2ubuntu0.1","17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3","17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm1","17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-bin","binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-conch","binary_version":"1:17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-core","binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-mail","binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-names","binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted-news"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-runner","binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2","binary_name":"python-twisted-web"},{"binary_name":"python-twisted-words","binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"},{"binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2","binary_name":"python3-twisted"},{"binary_name":"python3-twisted-bin","binary_version":"17.9.0-2ubuntu0.3+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob
