CVE-2026-87825
HighCVSS 7.7Summary
zstd-jni before 1.5.7-14 contains a use-after-free vulnerability where streams and contexts hold a dictionary's shared lock only during the load call, allowing the dictionary to be closed while still referenced. Attackers can close a dictionary after associating it with a stream or context, causing subsequent read or write operations to access freed native memory, resulting in silent data corruption or JVM crashes.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability can lead to data corruption or JVM crashes, impacting application integrity and availability.
Recommendation
Upgrade zstd-jni to version 1.5.7-14 or later, which fixes the dictionary lifecycle management issue.
Other vulnerabilities in zstd-jni
See all- CVE-2026-87877High
zstd-jni versions before 1.5.7-14 fail to validate closed state in setDict, setLongMax, setLevel and setRefMultipleDDicts methods of stream classes. Attackers can call these methods on closed streams to write through freed native pointers, corrupting unrelated objects or crashing the JVM.
- CVE-2026-87824High
zstd-jni before 1.5.7-14 fails to validate the samples buffer capacity in Zstd.trainFromBufferDirect, allowing attackers to read past buffer boundaries by supplying oversized per-sample lengths. Attackers can trigger out-of-bounds memory access by providing crafted sample length arrays that cause the native implementation to walk past the buffer allocation, resulting in JVM termination.
- CVE-2026-87823High
zstd-jni before 1.5.7-14 performs 32-bit signed bounds checks on three direct-ByteBuffer frame-size native methods, allowing out-of-bounds memory reads via negative or overflowing offsets. Attackers can supply negative offset values near Integer.MIN_VALUE to read unmapped memory, causing JVM termination or extracting arbitrary frame size data from unintended memory locations.
- CVE-2026-87795High
zstd-jni versions before 1.5.7-14 fail to validate offset and length parameters in the ZstdDictCompress constructor, allowing out-of-bounds memory reads. Attackers can supply untrusted offset or length values to read native heap memory into the compression dictionary, typically causing JVM crashes.
