CVE-2026-103680

A flaw was found in tnef. A heap-based buffer overflow can occur in the find free number() function when generating numbered backup suffixes for duplicate filenames. When numbered backups are enabled and file overwriting is disabled, an attacker can supply a specially crafted Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) file with an excessive number of colliding attachment filenames, causing the numeric counter to write past the allocated memory buffer. This issue may result in an application crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially arbitrary code execution.
