CVE-2026-88361

SumatraPDF before version 3.6 has a vulnerability in the MobiDoc::ParseHeader function, where the decoder is sized for a fixed length rather than the actual buffer length. A malformed MOBI file can cause a read beyond a short heap buffer, leading to application crash.

SumatraPDF is a multi-format reader for Windows. In 3.6.1 and earlier, a crafted CHM file can supply malformed LZX Huffman code lengths to make_decode_table in ext/CHMLib/lzx.c. In the long-code branch, the function writes new internal nodes through next_symbol before validating that the canonical Huffman table has overflowed. The PRETREE case can write beyond the 104-entry PRETREE_table into adjacent heap state in struct LZXstate when reached through chm_open, chm_retrieve_object, LZXdecompress, and BUILD_TABLE. This produces heap memory corruption in the parser process, while arbitrary code execution has not been demonstrated. No fixed version is available as of this review.
