CVE-2026-56392 is a heap-based buffer overflow in GNU coreutils unexpand affecting versions through 9.11. Large tab-stop values supplied through the -t option can trigger an integer overflow while calculating a buffer-allocation size. The resulting allocation may be smaller than required, after which processing crafted input writes beyond the heap buffer.
