CVE-2026-106026
tftp-hpa 5.4 before 6.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in rewrite_string() in tftpd/remap.c that walks heap memory during jump label searches.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
tftp-hpa 5.4 before 6.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in rewrite_string() in tftpd/remap.c that walks heap memory during jump label searches. Unauthenticated remote attackers can send read or write requests whose filename matches a remap jump rule to crash the forked in.tftpd request handler.
