{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2026-49760","aliases":["UBUNTU-CVE-2026-49760","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-49760"],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Erlang OTP (erl_interface) allows Stack-based Buffer Overflow.\n\nThis vulnerability is associated with program file lib/erl_interface/src/misc/ei_printterm.c and program routine ei_s_print_term.\n\nThe C function ei_s_print_term uses an internal 2000-character stack buffer to format terms. When called with an encoded Erlang term containing a very large integer (encoded representation exceeding 2000 characters), the buffer overflows. The overflow bytes are restricted to the ASCII values of 0-9 and A-F, which limits exploitation to Denial of Service.\n\nThe companion function ei_print_term, which prints directly to a FILE instead of a memory buffer, does not contain this bug.\n\nThis issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 before OTP 27.3.4.13, OTP 28.5.0.2, and OTP 29.0.2, corresponding to erl_interface from 3.7.16 before 5.5.2.1, 5.7.0.1, and 5.8.1. Whether OTP before OTP 17.0, corresponding to erl_interface before 3.7.16, is affected is unknown.","dates":{"published":"2026-06-10T14:35:36.804Z","modified":"2026-09-24T20:42:47.418Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","version":"4.0","versionLabel":"v4.0","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"4.0","versionLabel":"v4.0","source":"CVE.org","score":6.9,"severity":"medium","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"4.0","versionLabel":"v4.0","source":"OSV
