Description
This security bulletin contains information about 15 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-69419)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the PKCS12_get_friendlyname() function when parsing PKCS#12 file with a BMPString (UTF-16BE) friendly name containing non-ASCII BMP code point. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted PKCS#12 file to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service attack.
2) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-69418)
CWE-ID: CWE-319 - Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the trailing 1-15 bytes of a message may be exposed in cleartext on encryption and are not covered by the authentication tag. When using the low-level OCB API directly with AES-NI or other hardware-accelerated code paths, inputs whose length is not a multiple of 16 bytes can leave the final partial block unencrypted and unauthenticated. A remote attacker can intercept traffic and gain access to potentially sensitive information.
3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-22795)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when parsing PKCS#12 file. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted PKCS#12 file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9086)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when reading cookie path. A malicious server can set a specially crafted cookie path using the secure keyword, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-69421)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex function. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted PKCS#12 file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-69420)
CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error within the TS_RESP_verify_response() function when handling ASN1_TYPE data.. A remote attacker can pass a malformed TimeStamp Response to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
7) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-4111)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in the RAR5 decompression implementation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted compressed data to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-68160)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the BIO filter (BIO_f_linebuffer). A remote attacker can pass an overly long string to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service attack.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-27135)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to missing state validation in the nghttp2 session handling logic when processing malformed frames after session termination has been initiated. A remote attacker can send specially crafted frames to cause a denial of service.
For PRIORITY_UPDATE and ALTSVC frames, the affected extension types must be explicitly enabled. Builds with assertions disabled may not crash under the same conditions.
10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-66199)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in CompressedCertificate. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
This issue only affects builds where TLS 1.3 certificate compression is compiled in (i.e., not OPENSSL_NO_COMP_ALG) and at least one compression algorithm (brotli, zlib, or zstd) is available, and where the compression extension is negotiated. Both clients receiving a server CompressedCertificate and servers in mutual TLS scenarios receiving a client CompressedCertificate are affected.
Servers that do not request client certificates are not vulnerable to client-initiated attacks.

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to "openssl dgst" one-shot codepath silently truncates inputs larger than 16MB. A remote attacker can spoof contents of the signed message.
Note, the issue affects only the command-line tool behavior.
12) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-15468)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the SSL_CIPHER_find() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-15467)
