Local process crash via unchecked modulo divisor
Published Feb 7, 2026 · Updated Feb 7, 2026
Divide-by-zero in Mapnik 4.0 through 4.2.0 allows local users to crash a consuming process via a crafted XML map style. The mapnik::detail::mod operator in src/value.cpp applies integer modulo without checking whether the evaluated second operand is zero. The user must cause an application linked to Mapnik to parse the style; the resulting SIGFPE terminates that process.
