DescriptionCVE.org

Dual-Algorithm CertificateVerify out-of-bounds read. When processing a dual-algorithm CertificateVerify message, an out-of-bounds read can occur on crafted input. This can only occur when --enable-experimental and --enable-dual-alg-certs is used when building wolfSSL.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in wolfSSL's dual-algorithm CertificateVerify processing allows remote attackers to trigger information disclosure and data integrity violations through crafted input, but only when the library is compiled with both --enable-experimental and --enable-dual-alg-certs flags. The vulnerability affects wolfSSL versions before 5.9.1 and requires network access with low attack complexity, though the attack triggering mechanism involves a passive timing or state condition (AT:P). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Risk Assessment Despite a CVSS score of 6.3 (medium), real-world risk is constrained by multiple mitigating factors: the vulnerability requires dual compilation flags (--enable-experimental and --enable-dual-alg-certs) that are not enabled in typical production builds, limiting affected deployments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with network access crafts a malicious TLS handshake message containing a specially constructed dual-algorithm CertificateVerify payload and sends it to a vulnerable wolfSSL server or client compiled with experimental dual-algorithm support enabled. The out-of-bounds read is triggered during certificate verification, potentially leaking adjacent memory contents or corrupting application state. …
Remediation Upgrade wolfSSL to version 5.9.1 or later, which includes the fix merged in GitHub PR #10079. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
