Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in xerial snappy-java. Affected by this issue is the function Snappy.arrayCopy. The manipulation of the argument offset with an unknown input leads to a array index vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-129.

Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

snappy-java is a Java port of the snappy, a fast C++ compresser/decompresser developed by Google. Prior to 1.1.10.9, Snappy.arrayCopy(Object src, int offset, int byteLength, Object dest, int destOffset) passes caller-supplied ranges to native memcpy without validating either array, allowing negative or oversized byteLength and offset values to read or write outside array bounds and crash the JVM. SnappyOutputStream.rawWrite and SnappyInputStream.rawRead, including their typed-array write and read methods, pass caller-controlled ranges through this primitive, and typed-array byte-size calculations can overflow int. This issue is fixed in version 1.1.10.9.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-116590 since 10/26/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely.
