Description
LibreCAD through 2.2.1.6 contains a heap-based out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the bundled libdxfrw dwgReader18::parseDataPage() function due to unchecked buffer size and page offsets. Attackers can craft an AC1018 (R2004) DWG file with malicious startOffset values that cause decompress18 to write past the heap buffer when opened, causing crashes and potential code execution.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Remediation status
The records we use list no fixed release for CVE-2026-126497. Check the upstream advisory for a patched version, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Stop feeding it untrusted input: reject or quarantine files and payloads from unverified sources until you can upgrade, restrict accepted formats to the ones you actually need, and run the parsing or decoding step in a least-privileged sandbox or short-lived worker so a crash or corrupted read cannot reach the rest of the process.
