| CVE-2026-71393 | Med | 0.27 | — | 0.01 | Aug 10, 2026 | GNU Emacs for Android is vulnerable to an integer overflow in sfnt_read_name_table() in src/sfnt.c. The function computes an allocation size using a 32-bit length value from a TrueType font file without overflow checking. On 32-bit targets, a crafted font causes the calculation… | ||
