{"id":"CVE-2026-75819","published":"2026-10-06T11:17:29.883","lastModified":"2026-10-06T15:03:59.427","description":"GNU Aspell contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in ReadOnlyDict::load() in readonly_ws.cpp. When loading a binary .rws dictionary file, it uses offset fields from the file header as byte indices into a heap buffer without validating their bounds. An attacker can trigger this by convincing a user to run aspell with a crafted dictionary file supplied through --master, --dict-dir, or configuration options, leading to heap memory disclosure or a denial of service via application crash.\n\n\n\nThis issue was fixed in commit 941953b25031bc9104e83f58e138a664b8dedc3f which will be released in version 0.60.8.3.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":["CWE-125"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"http://aspell.net/","tags":[]},{"url":"https://cert.pl/en/posts/2026/10/CVE-2026-75818","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
