Zserio: Integer Overflow in BitStreamReader on 32-bit platforms

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 23.03.2026 Published: 24.04.2026 Updated: 24.04.2026

Zserio is a framework for serializing structured data with a compact and efficient way with low overhead. Prior to 2.18.1, in BitStreamReader.h readBytes() / readString(), the setBitPosition() bounds check receives the overflowed value and is completely bypassed. The code then reads len bytes (512 MB) from a buffer that is only a few bytes long, causing a segmentation fault. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.18.1.
