An attacker can trigger this by convincing a user to run aspell with a crafted dictionary file supplied through --master, --dict-dir, or configuration options, leading to heap memory disclosure or a denial of service via application crash.\n\n\n\nThis issue was fixed in commit 941953b25031bc9104e83f58e138a664b8dedc3f which will be released in version 0.60.8.3.","published":"2026-10-06T11:17:30.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-06T15:03:59.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"cvd@cert.pl","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":1.8,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-125"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00125,"percentile":0.02163,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-07","score":0.00118,"percentile":0.01562}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.13%).
