CVE-2026-103653: Qt CoAP out-of-bounds read in message parsing

CVE-2026-103653 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-03

Qt CoAP is a library for building applications that use the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) to communicate with IoT devices and servers. A flaw in how it parses CoAP messages can cause applications to crash or operate with corrupted data if they receive a specially crafted malformed message.

Vendors: Qt.

Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in QCoapInternalReply::createFromFrame() during CoAP message parsing. Processing a malformed CoAP message triggers the out-of-bounds read, leading to either a denial of service (crash) or potential data corruption. No authentication or user interaction is required; a network-adjacent attacker can send a malicious CoAP packet to trigger the flaw.
