Openssl · Openssl 1.0.2 · CVE-2025-68160
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
OpenSSL versions 1.0.2 through 3.6
OpenSSL versions 1.1.1
OpenSSL versions 3.0 through 3.6
OpenSSL versions 3.3 through 3.6
OpenSSL versions 3.4 through 3.6
OpenSSL versions 3.5 through 3.6
**Description**
A heap-based out-of-bounds write can occur when writing large, newline-free data into a BIO chain utilizing the line-buffering filter, particularly when the subsequent BIO performs short writes. This memory corruption can lead to a denial of service. The line-buffering BIO filter (BIO f linebuffer) is not typically used in default TLS/SSL configurations. The issue is assessed as low severity due to the unlikely circumstances of attacker control and the filter's limited use with attacker-controlled data. The FIPS modules in versions 3.0, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 are not affected as the BIO implementation is outside the FIPS module boundary.
