Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-34182)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass integrity validation.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in CMS AuthEnvelopedData processing when decrypting crafted AuthEnvelopedData containers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted CMS message to bypass integrity validation.
In some cases, if the application exposes decryption success or failure, the issue can be used as an oracle to obtain key-equivalent functionality for the content-encryption key.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-42767)
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 cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference in CRMF EncryptedValue decryption when processing a crafted CMP response containing an EncryptedValue structure with an algorithm OID but no parameters field. A remote attacker can send a crafted CMP response to cause a denial of service.
The issue can be triggered by an attacker-controlled CMP server or a man-in-the-middle.
