CVE-2026-81665 is a heap-based buffer overflow in Corosync's Totem Process Group (totempg) fragmented multicast-message reassembly logic. The assembly buffer used to reconstruct fragmented messages lacks a runtime bounds check in release builds, allowing crafted fragment data to write beyond the heap allocation with attacker-controlled content.
