opencryptoki vulnerabilities

Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Sep 2, 2026

Summary

It was discovered that primitive decoders in openCryptoki produced integer
underflows when the encoded length was zero. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to trigger out-of-bounds reads. (CVE-2026-40253)

It was discovered that openCryptoki incorrectly handled symlinks. An
attacker in the token-group could possibly use this issue to achieve
privilege escalation or access sensitive information. (CVE-2026-23893)

It was discovered that the CKM_ECDH_AES_KEY_WRAP implementation had a heap
buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
trigger heap corruption, or denial-of-service. (CVE-2026-22791)

  • Medium 6.8

    openCryptoki has improper link resolution before file access (link following)

    openCryptoki is a PKCS#11 library and provides tooling for Linux and AIX. Versions 2.3.2 and above are vulnerable to symlink-following when running in privileged contexts. A token-group user can redirect file operations to arbitrary filesystem targets by plan…

    openCryptoki: Memory safety vulnerabilities in BER/DER decoders in asn1.c

    openCryptoki is a PKCS#11 library and provides tooling for Linux and AIX. In versions 3.26.0 and below, the BER/DER decoding functions in the shared common library (asn1.c) accept a raw pointer but no buffer length parameter, and trust attacker-controlled BER…

    openCryptoki incorrectly calculates the buffer size in C_WrapKey with CKM_ECDH_AES_KEY_WRAP

    openCryptoki is a PKCS#11 library and tools for Linux and AIX. In 3.25.0 and 3.26.0, there is a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the CKM_ECDH_AES_KEY_WRAP implementation allows an attacker with local access to cause out-of-bounds writes in the host proce…
