CVE ID :CVE-2026-8463<\/p>\n
Published : May 13, 2026, 12:40 p.m. | 2\u00a0hours, 18\u00a0minutes ago<\/p>\n
Description :Crypt::Argon2 versions from 0.017 before 0.031 for Perl perform a heap out-of-bounds read in argon2_verify on empty encoded input.<\/p>\n
The auto-detect form of argon2_verify passes encoded_len – 1 as the length argument to memchr without checking that encoded_len is non-zero. When the encoded string is empty, the size_t subtraction underflows to SIZE_MAX and memchr scans adjacent heap memory looking for a ‘$’ separator byte.<\/p>\n
A caller that invokes argon2_verify against a stored hash that may legitimately be empty (for example a placeholder row or a NULL column materialised as an empty string) reads out-of-bounds heap memory, which can crash the process or leak the position of an adjacent ‘$’ byte into subsequent parsing.<\/p>\n
Severity: 0.0 | NA<\/p>\n
