Last modified

CVE-2026-56789 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. RTKLIB through 2.4.3 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the readrnxobsb function in src/rinex.c that allows attackers to trigger memory corruption by failing to clamp satellite count values from RINEX epoch headers. Attackers can craft malicious RINEX files declaring more than 64 satellites per epoch to cause heap buffer overflow writes and out-of-bounds stack reads, crashing RTKLIB-based applications including rnx2rtkp and RTKPOST.. EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
