    Medium [CVE-2026-80489] Non-progress DoS in EUC_JISX0213 -> UCS-4 conversion state

    CVE-2026-80489Source published Source updated

    Converting crafted EUC_JISX0213 input to UCS-4 or the internal wide character encoding, for example with iconv, in the GNU C Library version 2.3 to 2.44 may result in the converter making no progress, causing the calling application to hang. Some EUC_JISX0213 sequences decode to two code points. If the output buffer has room for only the first one, the converter stores the second in the conversion state and returns E2BIG, but it never clears that pending character after emitting it on the next call. The converter then keeps emitting the pending character without consuming further input, so an application that retries the conversion loops forever. The input must be attacker controlled and the application must convert it with an output buffer small enough to split the two code points. Only…

    Mitigation guidance
    • To mitigate this avoid converting untrusted data with that charset, or disable the conversion path if unused. Where conversion of untrusted input cannot be avoided, restrict access to trusted clients and apply process CPU/resource limits to contain hang impact.
