Last modified
CVE-2026-16529 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A signed integer overflow in the PCP __pmGetPDU() function can be exploited via crafted network packets during PDU processing or SASL negotiation. This permanently blinds the affected daemon, resulting in a total denial of service (DoS) for subsequent packet reads.. EPSS estimates a 0.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
