  "summary": "CVE-2026-66485 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by cpio 2.15\u002Bdfsg-2.1ubuntu0.1, released August 10, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.",
  "title": "Uncontrolled Memory Allocation in GNU cpio",
  "description": "GNU cpio is vulnerable to an uncontrolled memory allocation in the make_path function at src/makepath.c. The function uses alloca to allocate stack memory based on the length of argpath, which is derived from an archive-controlled pathname during extraction. A malicious cpio archive containing a sufficiently long nested pathname causes an unbounded stack allocation, resulting in a stack overflow and crash of the cpio process. An attacker who can supply a crafted cpio archive to a victim who extracts it can cause a denial of service. This issue has been fixed in commit 3cd514031371d8aeeaf2048aa10103e02831aaa9",
