Heap-based buffer overflow in rust-openssl - CVE-2026-44662

Published: May 5, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU129723
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-44662
CWE-ID: CWE-122
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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.
