Lifecycle Timeline
7DescriptionCVE.org
Heap buffer overflow in DTLS 1.3 ACK message processing. A remote attacker can send a crafted DTLS 1.3 ACK message that triggers a heap buffer overflow.
AnalysisAI
Heap buffer overflow in wolfSSL DTLS 1.3 ACK message handler allows unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve integrity and availability impacts via crafted network packets. The vulnerability triggers memory corruption during ACK message processing in DTLS 1.3 sessions, enabling potential arbitrary code execution or denial of service. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though low observed exploitation activity noted.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-122 heap-based buffer overflow during DTLS 1.3 ACK message parsing. Improper bounds checking in wolfSSL's DTLS 1.3 implementation permits out-of-bounds write operations when processing malformed acknowledgment frames. Attack vector requires network access but minimal complexity per CVSS:4.0 AC:L/AT:P metrics.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available via GitHub pull request #10076 (https://github.com/wolfssl/wolfssl/pull/10076); released patched version not independently confirmed at time of analysis. Organizations should monitor wolfSSL security advisories for official release announcements and apply updates immediately upon availability. Interim mitigations: disable DTLS 1.3 protocol support if not operationally required, restrict network access to DTLS endpoints to trusted sources only, and implement strict input validation at application layer. Review https://github.com/wolfssl/wolfssl/pull/10076 for technical patch details and verification of fix applicability to deployed versions.
