CVE-2026-46344 May 29, 18:08 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Out-of-bounds read in liboqs prior to 0.16.0 affects the XMSS and XMSS^MT stateful signature verification routines, exploitable by any unauthenticated remote attacker who can supply a crafted public key to a verifying process. The flaw arises when a correctly-sized signature buffer is paired with a public key whose OID bytes reference a different XMSS parameter set, causing the library to derive a larger sig_bytes value and index past the end of the caller-supplied buffer, with the primary observable effect being a process crash. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no independently published exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though a proof-of-concept scenario is embedded in the upstream fix commit's test suite.

CVE-2026-44518 May 29, 18:07 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Out-of-bounds read in liboqs prior to 0.16.0 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the verifying process by supplying a truncated signature buffer to the XMSS or XMSS^MT stateful signature verification function. The missing caller-supplied length validation causes the implementation to read past the end of the buffer; the overread bytes feed into an internal hash computation only and are not returned to the caller, eliminating any data-leakage oracle. The primary real-world impact is a denial-of-service crash if the overread crosses an unmapped memory page. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis.

CVE-2025-52473 Jul 10, 19:15 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

liboqs is a C-language cryptographic library that provides implementations of post-quantum cryptography algorithms. Multiple secret-dependent branches have been identified in the reference implementation of the HQC key encapsulation mechanism when it is compiled with Clang for optimization levels above -O0 (-O1, -O2, etc). A proof-of-concept local attack exploits this secret-dependent information to recover the entire secret key. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.0.
