CVE-2026-5928

A flaw was found in glibc (GNU C Library). When the ungetwc function is called on a file stream using wide characters with specific overlapping single-byte and multi-byte encodings, it may attempt to read data outside of its allocated buffer. This can lead to the unintentional disclosure of sensitive information from memory or cause the program to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
