  • High 7.5

    RPK Server Signature Algorithm Selection Can Dereference a Missing Certificate

    Issue summary: In a server or client configuration with RFC7250 Raw Public Keys (RPKs) enabled, and only the private key (with no associated certificate) configured locally, a NULL pointer dereference may occur when the remote peer solicits raw public keys an…

  • High 7.5

    Heap Buffer Over-read in ASN.1 Content Parsing

    Issue summary: Parsing a crafted DER-encoded ASN.1 structure with a primitive element whose content exceeds 2 gigabytes in length may cause a heap buffer over-read on 64-bit Unix and Unix-like platforms. Impact summary: The heap buffer over-read may crash the…

  • High 7.5

    Unbounded Memory Growth in the QUIC PATH_CHALLENGE Handler

    Issue summary: Remote peer may exhaust heap memory of the QUIC server or client by flooding it with packets containing PATH_CHALLENGE frames. Impact summary: A malicious remote peer can cause an unbounded memory allocation which can lead to an abnormal termin…

  • High 7.5

    NULL Pointer Dereference in QUIC Server Initial Packet Handling

    Issue summary: Receiving a QUIC initial packet with an invalid token may trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the OpenSSL QUIC server with address validation disabled. Impact summary: NULL pointer dereference typically causes abnormal termination of the affe…

  • High 7.5

    NULL Dereference in Certificate Verification with OCSP Checking

    Issue summary: When a partial-chain certificate verification is enabled together with OCSP response checking for the whole chain, a NULL dereference will happen if the verified chain does not have a self-signed trusted anchor, crashing the process. Impact sum…

  • High 7.5

    AES-OCB IV Ignored on EVP_Cipher() Path

    Issue summary: When an application drives an AES-OCB context through the public EVP_Cipher() one-shot interface, the application-supplied initialisation vector (IV) is silently discarded. Impact summary: Every message encrypted under the same key uses the sam…

  • High 7.5

    Excessive Memory Use Buffering DTLS Records for a Future Epoch

    Issue summary: Receiving a DTLS record for a future epoch while a handshake is in progress causes OpenSSL to buffer far more memory than the record itself requires. Impact summary: A peer can use a small amount of network traffic to make an OpenSSL DTLS endpo…

  • High 7.5
    CVE-2026-63072 Public exploit

    Heap Buffer Overflow in CMS Key Unwrapping

    Issue summary: OpenSSL CMS decryption sizes the key-unwrap output buffer based on querying the unwrapped key size, but the AES-WRAP-PAD unwrap primitive can write and cleanse more bytes than that query reports, causing an 8-byte out-of-bounds heap write. Impa…

  • High 7.5

    QUIC ACK-only Packet Retention Can Cause Memory Exhaustion

    Issue summary: When OpenSSL processes QUIC traffic from a peer that repeatedly sends ack-eliciting packets while not acknowledging ACK-only responses, the QUIC stack can retain ACK-only packet metadata for the lifetime of the connection. Impact summary: A rem…

  • High 7.5

    Invalid Pointer Dereference in CMP Server via Crafted protectionAlg

    Issue summary: OpenSSL CMP password based protection verification only checks whether the protectionAlg parameter was not NULL and not its ASN.1 type, before treating it as a PBMParameter. A crafted message can contain a parameter of a different type, which i…

  • High 7.5

    Out-of-Bounds Read in CMS Password-Based Decryption

    Issue summary: When CMS password-based decryption (RFC 3211 / PWRI key unwrap) processes attacker-supplied CMS data, an attacker-chosen stream-mode KEK cipher can trigger a heap out-of-bounds read in kek_unwrap_key(). Impact summary: A heap buffer over-read m…

  • High 7.4

    PKCS#12 Files with PBMAC1 Are Accepted with Short HMAC Keys

    Issue Summary: The PKCS#12 file processing fails to perform sufficient input validation for files that use Password-Based Message Authentication Code 1 (PBMAC1) integrity mechanism allowing a certificate and private key forgery. Impact Summary: An attacker im…

  • Medium 6.2

    Possible Out of Bounds Read in X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_email()

    Issue summary: When the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_email is called by an application to validate a crafted e-mail address, such as during S/MIME message validation, an out of bounds read can happen. Impact summary: This out of bounds read will not directly exfilt…

  • Medium 5.9

    Possible NULL Dereference in Password-Based CMS Decryption

    Issue summary: A specially crafted password-encrypted CMS message can trigger a NULL pointer dereference during CMS decryption. Impact summary: This NULL pointer dereference leads to an application crash and a Denial of Service. The CMS PasswordRecipientInfo.…

  • Medium 5.9

    NULL Pointer Dereference in CRMF EncryptedValue Decryption

    Issue summary: An attacker-controlled CMP (Certificate Management Protocol) server could trigger a NULL pointer dereference in a CMP client application. Impact summary: A NULL pointer dereference causes a crash of the application and a Denial of Service. An a…

  • Medium 5.9

    CMP Indefinite Cache Growth of ExtraCerts

    Issue summary: The OpenSSL Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) caches additional certificates (extraCerts) sent in a CMP message, but never expunges them (for instance if they are invalid). If a server reuses an OSSL_CMP_CTX frequently, this cache of extraC…

  • Medium 5.3

    Trust-Anchor Substitution via cert/issuer Typo in CMP rootCaKeyUpdate

    Issue Summary: An error in the callback used to verify the certificate provided in a Root CA key update Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) message response rendered the certificate validation ineffectual, which could lead to escalation of credentials from …

    Incorrect Tag Processing for Empty Messages in AES-GCM-SIV and AES-SIV modes

    Issue summary: The implementations of AES-SIV (RFC 5297) and AES-GCM-SIV (RFC 8452) mishandle the authentication of AAD (Additional Authenticated Data) with an empty ciphertext allowing a forgery of such messages. Impact summary: An attacker can forge empty m…

    FFC-DH Peer Validation Uses Attacker-Supplied q

    Issue summary: When EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer() is called with a DHX (X9.42) peer key, the peer key is not properly checked for the subgroup membership. Impact summary: A malicious peer which presents an X9.42 key carrying the victim's p and g parameters, a fo…
