CVE-2026-35201
Discount is an implementation of John Gruber's Markdown markup language in C.
Published Apr 6, 2026 · updated Jul 24, 2026 · dafoster rdiscount
Discount is an implementation of John Gruber's Markdown markup language in C. From 1.3.1.1 to before 2.2.7.4, a signed length truncation bug causes an out-of-bounds read in the default Markdown parse path. Inputs larger than INT_MAX are truncated to a signed int before entering the native parser, allowing the parser to read past the end of the supplied buffer and crash the process. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.7.4.
