It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3116 advisory.

    Smithy-RS is a Rust code generation and runtime framework that generates HTTP clients and servers from     Smithy interface definitions, powering the AWS SDK for Rust and custom service implementations.



    Uncontrolled recursion in the JSON, CBOR, and XML deserializer functions emitted by Amazon smithy-rs code     generation could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process abort via stack exhaustion)     via a small request containing deeply nested data for a recursive model shape to a generated SDK or     server.



    To mitigate this issue, users should upgrade to aws-sdk-rust release-2026-06-02 or later. Users building     custom servers with smithy-rs codegen should regenerate from smithy-rs release-2026-06-01 or later.
    (CVE-2026-15957)

    libgit2 version 1.9.4 and below is vulnerable to a heap out-of-bounds read in set_data() in     src/libgit2/transports/smart_pkt.c.

    The vulnerable code uses a fixed-size strncmp (smart_pkt.c:239) against the unvalidated capability buffer     of a smart-protocol pkt-line. When the bytes following the pkt-line in the contiguous receive buffer     happen to continue with ct-format=, the comparison spuriously matches, advancing format_str past the     pkt-line boundary. The following memchr(format_str, ' ', len - (format_str - line)) (smart_pkt.c:246) then     underflows its size_t size argument to ~SIZE_MAX and walks the heap looking for a space byte. An     unauthenticated remote attacker who controls (or man-in-the-middles) a Git server reached over     HTTP/HTTPS/SSH/git:// can trigger this on the FIRST ref-pkt of the refs advertisement, before any     capability negotiation has taken place. The OOB walk causes a process crash (SIGSEGV) when memchr enters     an unmapped page, and -- on heap layouts where memchr finds a stray space byte before crashing -- can     additionally drive the git_error_set(...'%.*s', format_len, format_str) formatter to copy a large window     of heap memory into the error string.
