NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libewf package and not the libewf package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

libewf through 20260924 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in libewf_lef_extended_attribute_read_data() because UTF-16 name and value sizes are validated before being doubled. Attackers can supply a crafted .L01/.Lx01 file with oversized 'ea' metadata counts to crash the application or leak uninitialized heap memory through extended attributes.
