libmodulemd: CVE-2026-92822

Severity: Medium · CVSS 6.2CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Published: Oct 21, 2026, 3:03:49 AM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 0.21% · Oct 25, 2026

A flaw was found in libmodulemd. When parsing module metadata, the xmd field is converted into nested GVariant values through recursive YAML mapping and sequence helpers without a recursion-depth or node-count limit. An attacker who can supply crafted modulemd YAML with deeply nested xmd content can cause stack exhaustion or excessive resource consumption, resulting in a denial of service.
