CVE-2026-75818
NVD: GNU Aspell prezip-bin contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the decompressor in prog/prezip.c. NVD: The decompressor does not properly check buffer space, so a crafted compressed file can cause out-of-bounds read and write operations on the heap. NVD: An attacker who convinces a user to process a malicious compressed file with prezip-bin can trigger memory corruption, leading to a processs crash.
