Prior to 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha, libevent has an incorrect integer conversion in event_tagging.c when evtag_unmarshal_header uses evtag_decode_int to decode an attacker-controlled uint32 payload length and returns it as a signed int. Values above INT_MAX become negative or truncated, and evtag_unmarshal_string can use the converted value in allocation sizing, producing a wrapped large allocation request and denial of service. This issue is fixed in versions 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.7},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-190"],"references":["https://github.com/libevent/libevent/commit/109c16499282959d70f56ec3baf4c8b1e6646bda","https://github.com/libevent/libevent/commit/5e3c6ebe342b34c5a9bcf48e9a32ad6708b9c416","https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/tag/release-2.1.13-stable","https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/tag/release-2.2.2-alpha","https://github.com/libevent/libevent/security/advisories/GHSA-45c6-qx49-89m8"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-26T10:28:23.151169805+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-63384","score":0.00524,"percentile":0.44142,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
