CVE-2026-54580: mport index decompression can leave partial or corrupt index data after zstd failures

Published Sep 17, 2026

Updated

mport is the MidnightBSD Package Manager. Prior to 2.7.8, libmport/util.c did not make every truncated, corrupt, or failed zstd stream fatal in mportdecompresszstd(), and libmport/fetch.c did not consistently propagate those failures to index-fetch callers. A malicious or faulty mirror could supply compressed package index data that caused ZSTDdecompressStream() or an output write to fail while leaving partial index output available for later use, resulting in package-index integrity loss or denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 2.7.8.
