DescriptionCVE.org
If a user provided callback to set_cookie_generate_callback returned a cookie value greater than 256 bytes, pyOpenSSL would overflow an OpenSSL provided buffer.
Cookie values that are too long are now rejected.
AnalysisAI
Buffer overflow in pyOpenSSL's cookie generation callback allows attackers to corrupt memory and potentially achieve remote code execution by supplying oversized cookie values exceeding 256 bytes. The vulnerability affects applications using custom cookie callbacks with OpenSSL integration, where insufficient length validation permits writing beyond allocated buffer boundaries. A patch is available that implements proper cookie size validation.
Technical ContextAI
A buffer overflow occurs when data written to a buffer exceeds its allocated size, potentially overwriting adjacent memory and corrupting program state. This vulnerability is classified as Classic Buffer Overflow (CWE-120).
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Use memory-safe languages or bounds-checked functions. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, and stack canaries. Apply vendor patches promptly.
