Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9230)

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. 


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9232)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in OpenSSL HTTP client API functions if the "no_proxy" environment variable is set and the host portion of the authority component of the HTTP URL is an IPv6 address. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
