CVE-2026-55894

Name	CVE-2026-55894
Description	Capstone is a disassembly framework. In 6.0.0-Alpha9 and earlier, Capstone's arch/SH/SHDisassembler.c sh_disassemble() function computes an idx value from a raw 16-bit instruction without ensuring it is within the active mode-specific decode[] function-pointer table. An application using CS_ARCH_SH with CS_MODE_SH2A or CS_MODE_SH4A and CS_MODE_SHFPU can pass crafted bytecode through cs_disasm_iter() or cs_disasm(), causing the decode[idx] test to read outside the table and terminate the process with a segmentation fault. No code execution or information disclosure was demonstrated. This issue is fixed in version 6.0.0-Alpha10.
