[This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.]

The directory and Rock Ridge / SUSP walk in libfsimage's iso9660 driver derives several lengths directly from attacker-controlled on-disk fields without validating them:

* The directory loop itself assumes a good record length. This is CVE-2026-42494.

* The calculation of the System Use area may underflow. This is CVE-2026-42495.

* The Rock Ridge extension loop assumes a good (inner) record length. This is CVE-2026-62423.

* The Rock Ridge NM record processing assumes a good entry length. This is CVE-2026-62424.

* The Rock Ridge CE record processing assumes a good size and offset. This is CVE-2026-62425.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. None are among the latest 100 rows. The 82 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.

Frequently asked(5)

What is CVE-2026-42495?
CVE-2026-42495 is a medium-severity vulnerability; its CVE record was published on July 28, 2026. [This CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] The directory and Rock Ridge / SUSP walk in libfsimage's iso9660 driver derives several lengths directly from attacker-controlled on-disk fields without validating them:…
When was CVE-2026-42495 made public?
CVE-2026-42495 was made public on July 28, 2026: that is the date its CVE record's CNA, Xen Project, gives for when the vulnerability was made public. The CVE record itself was published on July 28, 2026. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of July 28, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2026-42495 actively exploited?
CVE-2026-42495 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (8th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2026-42495?
CVE-2026-42495 has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.5 (CISA-ADP / Vulnrichment enrichment; NVD's own analysis pending).
How do I remediate CVE-2026-42495?
A fix for CVE-2026-42495 is available: update to the fixed version the vendor names in its advisory. The vendor advisories EchelonGraph has for CVE-2026-42495 are linked in the Vendor Advisories panel on this page.
