Description

CVE-2026-116574 is an off-by-one error vulnerability in FreeSWITCH prior to version 1.11.2. The function switch_xml_ampencode() reserved insufficient space for a terminating NUL byte when encoding four-byte UTF-8 sequences, causing a one-byte heap overflow when serializing remote-supplied text at a buffer boundary. This flaw affects multiple XML serialization outputs that handle caller-controlled values. The issue can cause process aborts or memory corruption but has not been shown to enable remote code execution. The vulnerability is fixed in FreeSWITCH version 1.11.2.
