CVE-2026-49494

Xcitium Client Security (XCS) before 13.8.2.10019 and Comodo Internet Security (CIS) through 12.3.4.8162 (fix expected by 2026 Q3) contain an integer underflow vulnerability in the firewall driver Inspect.sys that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the system by sending a crafted IPv6 packet with a declared payload length smaller than the sum of its extension-header lengths. The unsigned 64-bit payload-length value underflows to a near-maximal integer, triggering an out-of-bounds read and oversized memcpy in the Windows kernel at DISPATCH_LEVEL, resulting in a blue screen of death even on hosts with all ports blocked.

Comodo Internet Security's firewall driver Inspect.sys contains an integer underflow in its IPv6 packet parser. The parser decrements an unsigned 64-bit payload-length value (taken from the IPv6 fixed header's payload length field) by the size of each IPv6 extension header without validating it, so a packet whose declared payload length is smaller than the sum of its extension-header lengths underflows the value to a near-maximal 64-bit integer. Because IPv6 parsing occurs before firewall rule enforcement, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a single crafted IPv6 packet - even to a host with all ports blocked - to trigger an out-of-bounds read (and, on a separate code path, an oversized memcpy) in the Windows kernel at DISPATCH_LEVEL, crashing the system (BSOD).
