Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-42327)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger undefined behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of non-UTF-8 data in X509Ref::ocsp_responders when parsing OCSP responder URLs from a certificate's AIA extension. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to trigger undefined behavior.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: N/A)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause heap corruption.
The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow in CipherCtxRef::cipher_update, CipherCtxRef::cipher_update_vec, and symm::Crypter::update when encrypting non-multiple-of-8 input with AES key-wrap-with-padding ciphers. A remote attacker can supply attacker-influenced plaintext length to cause heap corruption.
This only impacts applications using AES key-wrap-with-padding ciphers.
