Description

smallbitvec: Integer overflow in safe API leads to heap buffer overflow

Description (MITRE) cveawg.mitre.org

Pulled from cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2026-44983 on 2026-07-28. Shown when MITRE's text differs from the cvelistV5 mirror.

smallbitvec is a growable bit-vector for Rust, optimized for size. From 1.0.1 to 2.6.0, an integer overflow in the internal capacity calculation of smallbitvec can lead to an undersized heap allocation, resulting in a heap buffer overflow through safe APIs only. This allows memory corruption without requiring unsafe code from the caller. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.1.
