EUVDB-ID: #VU116213

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9230

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using password based encryption. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that password based (PWRI) encryption support in CMS messages is enabled. 

Mitigation

Update the affected package openssl-1_0_0 to the latest version.
