CVE-2026-0810

A flaw was found in gix-date. The gix_date::parse::TimeBuf::as_str function can generate strings containing invalid non-UTF8 characters. This issue violates the internal safety invariants of the TimeBuf component, leading to undefined behavior when these malformed strings are subsequently processed. This could potentially result in application instability or other unforeseen consequences.

This vulnerability is rated Moderate for Red Hat products. A flaw in the gix-date library can generate invalid non-UTF8 strings, leading to undefined behavior when processed. The most likely impact from a successful attack is to data integrity, by the malicious data being able to corrupt data being hold in memory and to system availability as it eventually may lead to the software using the gix_date library to crash.
