gvfs: A flaw was found in the SFTP backend in gvfs
CVE-2026-84268 is fixed in 25 products on 1 platform, first by gvfs 1.36.1-0ubuntu1.3.3+esm1, released September 1, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
A flaw was found in the SFTP backend in gvfs. When mounting a share and reading a file, a malicious SFTP server can cause read_reply() to process a length that exceeds the size requested by the client. The function does not verify the server-provided length against the allocated buffer size, causing the operation to write past the intended boundaries. This issue allows a malicious server to corrupt adjacent heap memory in the gvfsd-sftp process, resulting in a denial of service as the process aborts upon detecting the heap corruption or potentially allowing arbitrary code execution.
