Last modified

CVE-2026-111137 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. libsmi through 0.5.0 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in smiValueAsString() in lib/smi.c that allows attackers to overflow a fixed 1024-byte static buffer through hex rendering of OCTET STRING values. Attackers can supply a crafted MIB with an OCTET STRING DEFVAL of 512 or more octets and a leading 0x00 byte to corrupt adjacent library globals and crash smidump or other consumers.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
