CVE-2026-24832Network attack vector

Process crash via oversized BIGNUM conversion

Published Jan 27, 2026 · Updated Jan 27, 2026

Out-of-bounds write in IX-Ray Engine 1.6 before 1.3 allows remote attackers to corrupt memory via an oversized BIGNUM value. BN_bn2dec() in the bundled OpenSSL bn_print.c fails to stop when BN_div_word() rejects an oversized number, so the conversion loop does not reduce its temporary value and writes beyond the bn_data buffer. The CVSS assessment requires neither authentication nor user interaction, but published material does not identify the network request path that delivers the value; the demonstrated consequence is a process crash.
