Error Handling Flaw in Netatalk Affecting Multiple Versions

CVE-2026-44074

What is CVE-2026-44074?

Netatalk versions ranging from 2.1.0 up to 4.4.2 are susceptible to a notable error handling flaw that arises from the improper combination of multiple errno values using bitwise OR. This oversight can generate incorrect error codes, particularly when different error states occur simultaneously. Consequently, a remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability to induce minor disruptions in service, manipulating error-handling paths in unforeseen ways, potentially compromising system integrity.
