Out-of-bounds read in rust-openssl - CVE-2026-41898

Published: April 20, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU126494
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-41898
CWE-ID: CWE-125
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking in the FFI trampolines for SslContextBuilder::set_psk_client_callback, set_psk_server_callback, set_cookie_generate_cb, and set_stateless_cookie_generate_cb when forwarding callback-returned lengths to OpenSSL. A remote attacker can trigger processing of a callback that returns an excessive length to disclose sensitive information.

The issue stems from passing the user closure's returned usize directly to OpenSSL without checking it against the &mut [u8] buffer provided to the closure.
