Опубликовано: 18 фев. 2026
Источник: redhat
CVSS3: 3.3

Описание

A weakness has been identified in universal-ctags ctags up to 6.2.1. The affected element is the function parseExpression/parseExprList of the file parsers/v.c of the component V Language Parser. Executing a manipulation can lead to uncontrolled recursion. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

A flaw was found in ctags. A local attacker with low privileges can exploit a weakness in the V Language Parser component by executing a specially crafted input that triggers uncontrolled recursion within the parseExpression/parseExprList functions. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS), making the application unresponsive or unavailable.
