CVE-2026-42443
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedNanaZip is an open source file archive. From 5.0.1252.0 to before 6.0.1698.0, an integer divide-by-zero exists in the UFS/UFS2 filesystem image parser in NanaZip. The vulnerability is triggered when opening a crafted UFS image where the superblock field fs_ipg (inodes per cylinder group) is set to zero. The parser uses this attacker-controlled value as a divisor without validation, causing an immediate hardware trap and process crash. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.0.1698.0.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceNanaZip versions 5.0.1252.0 through 6.0.1697.0 contain an integer divide-by-zero vulnerability in the UFS/UFS2 filesystem image parser. When parsing a crafted UFS image with the superblock field fs_ipg (inodes per cylinder group) set to zero, the parser uses this attacker-controlled value as a divisor without validation, causing a hardware trap and process crash.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify NanaZip installationCheck for NanaZip in the list of installed programs via Windows Settings > Apps & features, or locate the executable (NanaZip.exe) in Program Files or a custom install directory.Affected if NanaZip is present on the system
-
Determine installed NanaZip versionRight-click NanaZip.exe, select Properties, and check the File version on the Details tab. Alternatively, run the executable with the --version flag if supported, or view the version in the Windows Apps & features list.Affected if The version is 5.0.1252.0 or higher but lower than 6.0.1698.0
-
Verify access to UFS/UFS2 image parsingLaunch NanaZip and check whether the application can open or mount UFS or UFS2 filesystem image files. Look for support for .ufs, .ufs2, or similar filesystem image formats in the Open dialog or supported formats list.Affected if NanaZip is installed in the affected version range and can open UFS/UFS2 images
A user is affected if NanaZip version 5.0.1252.0 through 6.0.1697.0 is installed and the application can be used to open UFS/UFS2 filesystem images containing a crafted superblock with fs_ipg set to zero.

dbcve · scoped6.0.1698.0
Upgrade to NanaZip version 6.0.1698.0 or later. Avoid opening untrusted or unknown UFS/UFS2 filesystem images until the update is applied.
6.0.1698.0
- 1. Check the currently installed NanaZip version by opening NanaZip and navigating to Help > About, or checking the application properties.
- 2. If the installed version is >= 5.0.1252.0 and < 6.0.1698.0, the system is vulnerable.
- 3. Download NanaZip version 6.0.1698.0 (or the latest version >= 6.0.1698.0) from the official GitHub releases page at github.com/M2Team/NanaZip or the Microsoft Store.
- 4. Install the downloaded version, overwriting the existing installation.
- 5. After installation, verify the new version by checking Help > About to confirm version 6.0.1698.0 or higher is installed.
- 6. As a general precaution, avoid opening untrusted UFS/UFS2 filesystem images from unknown sources until the upgrade is applied.
