Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
X.509 date buffer overflow in wolfSSL_X509_notAfter / wolfSSL_X509_notBefore. A buffer overflow may occur when parsing date fields from a crafted X.509 certificate via the compatibility layer API. This is only triggered when calling these two APIs directly from an application, and does not affect TLS or certificate verify operations in wolfSSL.
Analysis
wolfSSL versions before 5.9.1 contain a heap buffer overflow in the X.509 date parsing functions wolfSSL_X509_notAfter and wolfSSL_X509_notBefore when processing crafted certificates through the compatibility layer API. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 2.3 with attack vector requiring adjacent network access and persistence, affecting only direct API calls and not standard TLS or certificate verification operations. …
