Vulnerability Analysis
Weakness Types
What is a Memory Corruption Vulnerability?
The software writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can result in corruption of data, a crash, or code execution. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent write operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
CVE-2026-45813 has been classified to as a Memory Corruption vulnerability or weakness.
What is an Integer underflow Vulnerability?
The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result. This can happen in signed and unsigned cases.
CVE-2026-45813 has been classified to as an Integer underflow vulnerability or weakness.
