CVE-2026-121997 in Red Hatinfo

Summary

by MITRE • 11/05/2026

A heap buffer overflow in gdbserver's QTDPsrc packet handler allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to achieve native code execution in the gdbserver process. The vulnerability results from a mismatch between a packet's declared source length and the actual data length, causing hex2bin to write beyond the allocated heap buffer.

Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
