CVE-2026-88371

Service crash via negative signed left shift

Published Sep 24, 2026 · Updated Sep 24, 2026

Undefined behavior in ZBar at commit 2ea2ca58 allows context-dependent attackers to crash trap-mode builds via crafted Code 128 input. In decode6(), decode_e() can return -1 for an invalid edge pattern, and the function left-shifts that negative signed value while assembling the edge signature. The service interruption requires a specially crafted barcode to reach the Code 128 decoder and is documented as SIGILL termination under trap-mode UBSan.
