Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Heap out-of-bounds read in PKCS7 parsing. A crafted PKCS7 message can trigger an OOB read on the heap. The missing bounds check is in the indefinite-length end-of-content verification loop in PKCS7_VerifySignedData().
AnalysisAI
Heap out-of-bounds read in wolfSSL versions prior to 5.9.1 allows unauthenticated attackers on an adjacent network to trigger information disclosure via a crafted PKCS7 message that bypasses bounds checking in the indefinite-length end-of-content verification loop. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.3 due to restricted attack vector (adjacent network only) and limited integrity impact, with no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Risk Assessment | This vulnerability presents a low real-world risk despite being a memory safety issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker on the same adjacent network segment crafts a malicious PKCS7 message with an indefinite-length encoding that triggers the bounds-checking bypass in PKCS7_VerifySignedData(). When the target system processes this message (e.g., during TLS handshake or message validation), the out-of-bounds read exposes heap memory contents that may contain sensitive cryptographic material or application secrets. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: wolfSSL 5.9.1 and later versions. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
