CVE-2026-28390
CVSS v3.1
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenSSL versions 3.0 through 3.6
Description
Processing a specially crafted CMS EnvelopedData message with KeyTransportRecipientInfo can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. This can cause applications that process attacker-controlled CMS data to crash before authentication or cryptographic operations, resulting in a Denial of Service. The issue occurs when examining the optional parameters field of RSA-OAEP SourceFunc algorithm identifier without verifying its presence, leading to a NULL pointer dereference if the field is missing. Applications and services using CMS decrypt() on untrusted input, such as S/MIME processing or CMS-based protocols, are affected.
Recommendations
Update to a version after 3.6.
Update to a version after 3.5.
Update to a version after 3.4.
Update to a version after 3.3.
Update to a version after 3.0.
Fix
