CVE-2026-44673

libyang is a YANG data modeling language library. Prior to SO 5.2.15, lyb_read_string() in src/parser_lyb.c contains an integer overflow that results in a heap buffer overflow when parsing a maliciously crafted LYB binary blob. An attacker who can supply LYB data to any libyang consumer (NETCONF server, sysrepo, etc.) can trigger a crash or potential heap corruption. This vulnerability is fixed in SO 5.2.15.

Summary		(es) libyang es una biblioteca del lenguaje de modelado de datos YANG. Antes de SO 5.2.15, lyb_read_string() en src/parser_lyb.c contiene un desbordamiento de entero que resulta en un desbordamiento de búfer en el heap al analizar un blob binario LYB creado maliciosamente. Un atacante que puede suministrar datos LYB a cualquier consumidor de libyang (servidor NETCONF, sysrepo, etc.) puede desencadenar una caída o una posible corrupción del heap. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en SO 5.2.15.
