CVE-2026-66733Network attack vector

Unauthenticated server crash via packet-ID cache exhaustion

Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026

Unbounded memory allocation in Eukaryot Sonic 3 AIR 26.03.28.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash a game server via UDP. ReceivedPacketCache::enqueuePacket uses the unbounded mUniquePacketID header value to allocate one CacheItem for every missing sequence number. No authentication or human interaction is required; a maximum uint32 identifier exhausts host memory and terminates the server process.
