CVE-2026-118444: Out-of-bounds reads during instruction decoding in pybddisasm

Published Nov 3, 2026

Updated

Out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in the pybddisasm Python bindings may disclose adjacent process memory during instruction decoding. The nddecode function may read up to 15 bytes without checking the actual length of the supplied Python buffer. The nddecodeex, nddecodeex2, and nddecodewithcontext functions pass the caller-supplied buffer size to the decoder without validating it against the actual length of the Python buffer. Data read beyond the buffer may be exposed through ndgetinstruxbytes, which returns a fixed-length list of 16 bytes. Exploitation requires an application to invoke the affected APIs with a short buffer or an oversized length and to expose the resulting bytes to an attacker. The pybddisasm package is no longer maintained.
