CVE-2026-58081 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in FreeBSD's iconv(3) encoding conversion modules. According to the provided advisory context, several encoding modules, including HZ, UTF-7, VIQR, and ZW, failed to properly check the size of the caller-supplied output buffer before writing converted characters. The issue can be triggered by applications that use iconv(3) to process untrusted text in affected encodings, including HZ, UTF-7, VIQR, ZW, and related conversion paths referenced in the advisory. This is distinct from the separate ISO-2022 stack overflow issue tracked as CVE-2026-58082. The flaw arises from improper bounds checking during character set conversion, leading to out-of-bounds writes into the output buffer supplied by the caller.
