Software flaws—buffer overflows, integer errors, type confusion—that mishandle memory, often causing crashes or remote code execution.
FFmpeg 8.1.2 fixes CVE-2026-8461, a CVSS 8.8 heap out-of-bounds write in the libavcodec MagicYUV decoder that JFrog found. A dev.to post-mortem says a crafted .avi thumbnailed by a file manager reaches it, so anything linking libavcodec needs a version check.

Citrix fixed CVE-2026-88772, a pre-auth DTLS memory overflow in NetScaler exploited as a zero-day and one of two exploited flaws in Sunday's advisory. The vulnerable handshake runs before authentication, so an internet-facing appliance answers a crafted packet with no login.

Ridge Security disclosed CVE-2026-42542, a flaw that lets an unauthenticated attacker crash a TDengine server with one malformed packet on port 6030. A patch shipped in 3.4.1.6, and the only proven payoff is a crash.

The proof of concept in strukturag's advisory declares a 33800 by 63520 picture at 16-bit depth, wraps the signed size calculation, and lets fill_plane write 4,294,968,336 bytes into the undersized heap buffer.

Samsung lists 18 critical Google-side bugs plus 31 of its own, including heap overflows in DNG and JPEG decoding. The rollout starts with major flagships, so only the 2026-09-05 patch level tells a fleet owner who is actually covered.

CISA's advisory lists eight Pyramid Solutions development kits below v5.6.1 rather than any finished device, so the fix reaches plant floors only after each device maker rebuilds and ships firmware.

Databricks says an ordinary customer role could reach the unchecked array index. The repair went upstream into the open-source extension rather than into either fleet. That is the only version that helps anyone else.

CVE-2026-59086 yields code execution in Simcenter Femap and Nastran below V2606. The fix already exists; the engineering workstations that need it rarely sit inside the monthly cycle.
