Summary

libphdi through 20260902 contains a heap out-of-bounds read in libphdi_data_files_get_extent_data_file_path, which uses the directory prefix length instead of the basename length. A local user can supply a crafted Parallels disk image descriptor with a long directory prefix and short basename, which can crash the process or expose adjacent heap memory. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-131.
