CVE-2026-111146 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. ytnef through 2.1.2 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in MAPIPrint() that allows attackers to read past heap allocations by supplying compressed RTF properties. Attackers can deliver a crafted winmail.dat whose decompressed RTF lacks a NUL terminator, causing printf to over-read, crashing ytnefprint and leaking adjacent heap bytes.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
