CVE-2026-5121 is an integer overflow vulnerability in libarchive's zisofs block pointer allocation logic on 32-bit systems. Processing a specially crafted ISO9660 image can trigger the overflow and subsequently cause a heap buffer overflow, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution. Applications that use vulnerable libarchive code to process attacker-controlled images expose the vulnerable functionality.
