Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via GitHub release of openssl/openssl. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in OpenSSL's CMS password-based decryption code (CVE-2026-9076) allows remote attackers to cause denial of service against applications that decrypt attacker-supplied CMS messages. The flaw is fixed in OpenSSL 4.0.1 alongside a batch of other cryptographic vulnerabilities, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing. Multiple OpenSSL branches (1.0.2, 1.1.1, 3.0, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, and 4.0.0) require updates per the upstream advisory.

Technical ContextAI

OpenSSL is the de facto cryptographic library used by web servers, mail servers, VPN endpoints, and countless TLS/PKI-dependent applications. The Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS, RFC 5652) implementation in OpenSSL supports password-based decryption via PWRI (Password Recipient Info) structures inside EnvelopedData. CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) here means that during PWRI processing, OpenSSL reads memory past the end of an allocated buffer - typically due to insufficient length validation of an ASN.1 field - which can leak adjacent heap contents or, more commonly, crash the process. The bundled advisory at openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20260609.txt confirms this is one of multiple CMS/ASN.1 parsing issues fixed in the same release, suggesting upstream is hardening CMS decoding broadly.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patches are available: upgrade to OpenSSL 4.0.1, 3.6.3, 3.5.7, 3.4.6, 3.0.21, 1.1.1zh, or 1.0.2zq depending on the branch you run, per the OpenSSL advisory at https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20260609.txt and the release notes at https://github.com/openssl/openssl/releases/tag/openssl-4.0.1. Distribution users on Ubuntu should apply USN-8414-2 (https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8414-2); other distributions will likely follow. If immediate patching is not possible, the only meaningful compensating control is to stop accepting untrusted CMS EnvelopedData input - disable or front-end any service endpoint that calls CMS_decrypt() or PKCS7_decrypt() on attacker-influenced data, which will break legitimate password-based CMS workflows but eliminates the trigger path. Generic network filtering is not effective because the bug lives inside CMS parsing, not at a specific port.
