DescriptionNVD

A heap use-after-free exists in wolfSSL's TLS 1.3 post-quantum cryptography (PQC) hybrid KeyShare processing. In the error handling path of TLSX_KeyShare_ProcessPqcHybridClient() in src/tls.c, the inner function TLSX_KeyShare_ProcessPqcClient_ex() frees a KyberKey object upon encountering an error. The caller then invokes TLSX_KeyShare_FreeAll(), which attempts to call ForceZero() on the already-freed KyberKey, resulting in writes of zero bytes over freed heap memory.

AnalysisAI

Heap use-after-free in wolfSSL's TLS 1.3 post-quantum cryptography hybrid KeyShare processing allows unauthenticated remote attackers to corrupt heap memory and potentially disclose information. The vulnerability occurs when TLSX_KeyShare_ProcessPqcHybridClient() error handling prematurely frees a KyberKey object in src/tls.c, and the caller's subsequent TLSX_KeyShare_FreeAll() invocation writes zero bytes to already-freed memory. …
