RedHat CVE-2026-0810 gix-date::TimeBuf::as_str non-UTF8 UB
CVE-2026-0810 Published on January 26, 2026

Gix-date: gix-date: undefined behavior due to invalid string generation
A flaw was found in gix-date. The `gix_date::parse::TimeBuf::as_str` function can generate strings containing invalid non-UTF8 characters. This issue violates the internal safety invariants of the `TimeBuf` component, leading to undefined behavior when these malformed strings are subsequently processed. This could potentially result in application instability or other unforeseen consequences.
