  • KissFFT vulnerabilities could allow denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
  • Two CVEs identified: CVE-2025-34297 and CVE-2026-41445.
  • Affected users should update their systems to mitigate risks.

KissFFT, a mixed-radix Fast Fourier Transform library, has been found to contain vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to crash the software or execute arbitrary code. Specifically, issues were identified in how KissFFT handled large and multidimensional Fourier transform sizes on 32-bit architectures. Two CVEs have been reported: CVE-2025-34297, published on December 1, 2025, and CVE-2026-41445, published on April 20, 2026. Both vulnerabilities could lead to denial of service attacks. Users of affected systems are advised to update their software to mitigate these risks. The vulnerabilities affect various versions of the KissFFT tools available in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and earlier.
