Description PRE-NVD

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

AnalysisAI

Null pointer dereference in OpenSSL's password-based CMS decryption path enables remote denial of service against applications that process CMS EnvelopedData with password-based key derivation. The flaw affects a wide range of OpenSSL branches spanning 1.0.2 through 4.0.0, making the exposure surface unusually broad across long-term support and current releases. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis; the CVSS score of 5.9 (Medium) reflects the high attack complexity required to trigger the condition.

Technical ContextAI

CVE-2026-42766 is a CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference) flaw located in OpenSSL's implementation of password-based CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax, RFC 5652) decryption. CMS is the standard format used for signed, authenticated, and encrypted messages in PKI workflows, S/MIME email, and PKCS#7-based protocols. The password-based decryption variant uses key derivation functions (e.g., PBKDF2, PBES2) rather than asymmetric keys, targeting the EnvelopedData content type. The defect causes a null pointer to be dereferenced during this decryption processing, crashing the calling application. CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H confirms the impact is purely availability (process crash), with no confidentiality or integrity compromise. Affected CPE ranges span OpenSSL 1.0.2 < 1.0.2zq, 1.1.1 < 1.1.1zh, 3.0.0 < 3.0.21, 3.4.0 < 3.4.6, 3.5.0 < 3.5.7, 3.6.0 < 3.6.3, and 4.0.0 < 4.0.1 per ENISA EUVD-2026-35483.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to upgrade to a patched OpenSSL release: 4.0.1 for the 4.0.x branch, 3.6.3 for 3.6.x, 3.5.7 for 3.5.x, 3.4.6 for 3.4.x, 3.0.21 for the 3.0.x LTS branch, 1.1.1zh for extended-support 1.1.1 users, and 1.0.2zq for extended-support 1.0.2 users. Patched versions are confirmed by the OpenSSL 4.0.1 release notes at https://github.com/openssl/openssl/releases/tag/openssl-4.0.1 and the security advisory at https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20260609.txt. For systems that cannot be patched immediately, a targeted compensating control is to disable or restrict access to any application endpoint or service that accepts and processes inbound CMS password-based encrypted messages from untrusted network sources; this eliminates the attack surface without affecting asymmetric-key CMS operations. Linux distributions maintaining packaged OpenSSL builds (e.g., Ubuntu via USN-8414-2) should apply OS-level package updates through their standard patching channels to obtain vendor-tested builds.
