CVE-2026-49494
Xcitium Client Security (XCS) before 13.8.2.10019 and Comodo Internet Security (CIS) through 12.3.4.8162 (fix expected by 2026 Q3) contain an integer underflow vulnerability in the firewall driver Inspect.sys that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the system by sending a crafted IPv6 packet with a declared payload length smaller than the sum of its extension-header lengths. The unsigned 64-bit payload-length value underflows to a near-maximal integer, triggering an out-of-bounds read and oversized memcpy in the Windows kernel at DISPATCH_LEVEL, resulting in a blue screen of death even on hosts with all ports blocked.

Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
