Unauthenticated process crash via unchecked packet length
Published Jul 9, 2026 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Heap buffer overflow in Vinchin Backup & Recovery 9.0.0.86562 and earlier allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash agentlink_server. The service trusts the packet body_len field and passes that attacker-controlled size directly to recv(), allowing a heap overwrite of up to about 4 GiB. Reachability requires network access to agentlink_server; the confirmed consequence is process crash, and no code-execution impact is established.
