GHSA-JR2X-6QF6-Q5MC
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-01 17:48 – Updated: 2026-07-01 17:48Summary
A memory-safety vulnerability in Open Babel's MSI parser caused an uninitialized pointer dereference when reading a crafted input file.
Details
The flaw was in the atom handling of the MSI reader. A malformed record caused the parser to dereference an atom pointer that had never been initialized.
Impact
Open Babel is a C++ library and CLI used to read and write chemistry
file formats; it is shipped by Linux distributions and embedded in
services that may parse untrusted input. Triggering this vulnerability
requires the victim to open a malicious MSI file with the obabel
tool, the OBConversion API, or any of the language bindings (Python,
Ruby, Java, R, Perl, C#, PHP).
Affected versions
All releases up to and including 3.1.1.
Patched version
3.2.0 (released 2026-05-26).
Patch
Fix commit: https://github.com/openbabel/openbabel/commit/fa9a2d9a
A minimized reproducer for this CVE is checked in under
test/files/fuzz_regress/ and is exercised on every CI build under
ASAN+UBSAN by the fuzzregresstest harness.
