CRITICAL 9.8REMOTEWATCHLISTUPGRADE

CVE-2026-64608 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting fory. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Heap type confusion and out-of-bounds read/write in the Apache Fory C++ implementation. When deserializing data in compatible mode, the field-skip paths do not correctly validate the declared field types against the actual data, so input with an inconsistent schema can cause type confusion and out-of-bounds memory access. Only the C++ implementation is affected; other language implementations of Apache Fory are not. This issue affects Apache For

apache fory UPGRADE

Affected: >= 0.14.0 and < 1.4.0

Fixed in: 1.4.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.14.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy fory || rpm -q fory || fory --version

2. UPGRADE to 1.4.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade fory

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade fory

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.14.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison fory sudo apt install fory=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.14.0> sudo apt-mark hold fory

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list fory sudo dnf downgrade fory-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.14.0> sudo dnf versionlock add fory

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
