UBUNTU-CVE-2026-116726 (CVE-2026-116726)
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-10-26 22:16 – Updated: 2026-10-28 17:50 – Source websiteGbsplay through 0.0.103 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in gbr_open() in gbs.c that fails to verify file length before scanning the GBR ROM title field. Attackers can supply a crafted GBR file of 0x21 to 0x162 bytes to read past the heap buffer, crashing gbsplay or leaking memory.
