Summary
Integer overflow in the rtxMemHeapAlloc function in asn1rt_a.lib in Objective Systems ASN1C for C/C++ before 7.0.2 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow), on a system running an application compiled by ASN1C, via crafted ASN.1 data.
Exploit prediction
10.06% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 95% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
