Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for sleuthkit.

CVE-2026-40026[0]:
| The Sleuth Kit through 4.14.0 contains an out-of-bounds read
| vulnerability in the ISO9660 filesystem parser where the
| parse_susp() function trusts len_id, len_des, and len_src fields
| from the disk image to memcpy data into a stack buffer without
| verifying that the source data falls within the parsed SUSP block.
| An attacker can craft a malicious ISO image that causes reads past
| the end of the SUSP data buffer, and a zero-length SUSP entry can
| trigger an infinite parsing loop.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
