Report: - Stack overflow via select() file descriptor set overflow CVE-2026-39457

CVE ID :CVE-2026-39457 Published : April 30, 2026, 8:01 a.m. | 1 hour, 8 minutes ago Description :When exchanging data over a socket, libnv uses select(2) to wait for data to arrive. However, it does not verify whether the provided socket descriptor fits in select(2)'s file descriptor set size limit of FD_SETSIZE (1024). An attacker who is able to force a libnv application to allocate large file descriptors, e.g., by opening many descriptors and executing a program which is not careful to close them upon startup, can trigger stack corruption. If the target application is setuid-root, then this could be used to elevate local privileges.
