Out-of-Bounds Read in facil.io (CVE-2026-66729)
Summary
Vulnerability in facil.io (CVE-2026-66729). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
facil.io 0.6.0 through 0.7.6 contains an integer underflow vulnerability in the multipart MIME body parser that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the server process by sending a crafted Content-Disposition header with an empty field name. Attackers can trigger a uint32_t wraparound in http_mime_parser.h causing an out-of-bounds memory read past the name pointer, resulting in a bus fault that crashes the handling worker with a single POST request.
