Routine
MEDIUM 6.3REMOTE
CVE-2026-89319 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.3) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
`JweDirectDecryptorBlock.Decrypt` read a 64-bit plaintext length from the `_thales_aad` protected-header field and used it without any validation. A truncated field panics `binary.BigEndian.Uint64`, an oversized value drives an unbounded allocation, and a value larger than the decrypted block panics with a slice-bounds error.
Why this priority
- Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
