DescriptionCVE.org

1-byte OOB heap read in wc_PKCS7_DecodeEnvelopedData via zero-length encrypted content. A vulnerability existed in wolfSSL 5.8.4 and earlier, where a 1-byte out-of-bounds heap read in wc_PKCS7_DecodeEnvelopedData could be triggered by a crafted CMS EnvelopedData message with zero-length encrypted content. Note that PKCS7 support is disabled by default.

AnalysisAI

1-byte OOB heap read in wc_PKCS7_DecodeEnvelopedData via zero-length encrypted content.

Technical ContextAI

An out-of-bounds memory access occurs when code reads from or writes to memory locations outside the intended buffer boundaries. This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125).

RemediationAI

Implement proper bounds checking on all array and buffer accesses. Use memory-safe languages or static analysis tools to detect OOB issues.
