Wolfssl · Wolfssl · CVE-2022-42905
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
wolfSSL versions prior to 5.5.2
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer over-read vulnerability in the wolfSSL library. This can be triggered by a malicious TLS 1.3 client or network attacker when callback functions are enabled via the `WOLFSSL CALLBACKS` flag. The exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information or cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 5.5.2, consider disabling the `WOLFSSL CALLBACKS` flag as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation, as this flag is only intended for debugging purposes. Update to version 5.5.2 or later to fully resolve the issue.
