+Subject: [PATCH] bzip2recover: Make sure to not process more than
+ BZ_MAX_HANDLED_BLOCKS
+
+There is an off-by-one in the check before calling tooManyBlocks. This
+causes the scanning loop to run one more time and cause a possible
+read or write one past the global bStart, bEnd, rbStart and rbEnd
+buffers. There are no known exploits of this issue and you will need
+to compile with something like gcc -fsanitize=address (ASAN
+AddressSanitizer) to observe the faulty read/write.
+
+This has been assigned CVE-2026-42250.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-42250
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://sourceware.org/cgit/bzip2/commit/?id=35d122a3df8b0cc4082a4d89fdc6ee99f375fe67]
