Github.com/supranational/blst: blst cryptographic library: denial of service via out-of-bounds stack write in key generation

Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026 · Assigned by fedora

Description

A flaw was found in the blst cryptographic library. This out-of-bounds stack write vulnerability, specifically in the blst_sha256_bcopy assembly routine, occurs due to a missing zero-length guard. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a zero-length salt parameter to key generation functions, such as blst_keygen_v5(), if the application exposes this functionality. Successful exploitation leads to memory corruption and immediate process termination, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
