Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Information Exposure Through an Error Message (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-69247)
CWE-ID: CWE-209 - Information Exposure Through an Error Message
CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to recover plaintext from PKCS#7 EnvelopedData messages.
The vulnerability exists due to generation of error message containing sensitive information and observable timing discrepancy in pkcs7_decrypt_der, pkcs7_decrypt_pem, and pkcs7_decrypt_smime when decrypting attacker-supplied EnvelopedData. A remote attacker can send crafted EnvelopedData messages and observe distinguishable errors and timing differences to recover plaintext from PKCS#7 EnvelopedData messages.
Exploitation requires a service that automatically decrypts untrusted EnvelopedData for the victim certificate and returns adaptive responses at high volume.
2) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-69248)
CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to spoof certificate identity validation.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation in the certificate verifier when processing certificate chains with wildcard DNS subject alternative names under permitted subtrees constraints. A remote attacker can present a specially crafted certificate chain to spoof certificate identity validation.
The issue occurs when an intermediate constrained CA permits a specific DNS name such as foo.example.com, but a leaf certificate uses a broader wildcard DNS SAN such as *.example.com.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-69249)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in the certificate chain path-building logic when processing invalid certificate chains containing duplicate self-signed certificates. A remote attacker can supply a crafted certificate chain to cause a denial of service.
The issue affects availability only; certificate validation correctness is not affected.
