CVE-2026-116729: libfvde Heap Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability

Short explanation

libfvde through versions 20260923 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the libfvde_encrypted_metadata_read_type_0x001a function. This issue is caused by an unbounded strlen operation performed on embedded XML plist data.

Why does it matter?

Attackers can supply a crafted FileVault 2 volume, causing libfvde_volume_open to read past the heap block buffer and potentially leading to a denial of service.

What should be done?

  • Review the provided patch references and vendor advisories
  • Apply the fixes available in the referenced commit
  • Update the libfvde library accordingly
