CVE-2026-49282

Capstone M68K and RISCV `cs_insn_name()` invalid IDs can trigger out-of-bounds reads and process crashes

5.1 MediumFix available

Capstone is a disassembly framework. Prior to version 6.0.0-Alpha9, Capstone's public cs_insn_name() API forwards caller-supplied instruction IDs directly to the selected architecture backend. Most backends validate the ID before indexing instruction-name tables, but the M68K and RISCV backends have missing or incomplete bounds checks. On a Capstone handle opened for M68K or RISCV, a caller-controlled invalid instruction ID can trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the process. The demonstrated impact is availability loss in applications or bindings that expose instruction-name lookup to untrusted IDs. No code execution or data disclosure was demonstrated. Version 6.0.0-Alpha9 patches the issue.
