USN-8414-1: OpenSSL vulnerabilities
Frank Buss discovered that OpenSSL had a heap buffer over-read in ASN.1
content parsing. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL
to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or obtain sensitive
information. (CVE-2026-34180)
Pavol Zacik and Alex Gaynor discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly accepted
PKCS#12 files with short HMAC keys when using PBMAC1. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to bypass integrity checks. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 25.10 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-34181)
Asim Viladi Oglu Manizada and Alex Gaynor discovered that OpenSSL could
accept forged CMS AuthEnvelopedData messages. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to bypass message authentication checks. (CVE-2026-34182)
Abhinav Agarwal discovered that OpenSSL had unbounded memory growth in the
QUIC PATH_CHALLENGE handler. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause OpenSSL to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of
service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 25.10 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
(CVE-2026-34183)
Sunwoo Lee, Hyuk Lim, and Seunghyun Yoon discovered that OpenSSL had a NULL
pointer dereference in QUIC server initial packet handling. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting
in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 25.10 and Ubuntu
26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-42764)
Mayank Jangid, Kushal Khemka, Hari Priandana, Bhabani Sankar Das, and Qifan
Zhang discovered that OpenSSL had a possible NULL dereference in password-
based CMS decryption. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-42766)
Zhanpeng Liu, Guannan Wang, and Guancheng Li discovered that OpenSSL had a
NULL pointer dereference in CRMF EncryptedValue decryption. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a
denial of service. (CVE-2026-42767)
Alex Gaynor discovered that OpenSSL had a Bleichenbacher oracle in
CMS_decrypt() and PKCS7_decrypt() with multiple RecipientInfo values. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 25.10 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
(CVE-2026-42768)
Alex Gaynor discovered that OpenSSL had a trust-anchor substitution issue
in CMP rootCaKeyUpdate processing. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to bypass certificate trust validation. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 25.10 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-42769)
Alex Gaynor discovered that OpenSSL used attacker-supplied parameters when
validating FFC-DH peers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
weaken key validation and compromise security guarantees. (CVE-2026-42770)
Alex Gaynor discovered that OpenSSL could ignore the IV in AES-OCB mode on
the EVP_Cipher() path. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass
cryptographic protections and obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2026-45445)
Alex Gaynor discovered that OpenSSL had incorrect tag processing for empty
messages in AES-GCM-SIV and AES-SIV modes. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to bypass cryptographic integrity checks. (CVE-2026-45446)
Thai Duong discovered that OpenSSL had a heap use-after-free in
PKCS7_verify(). An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL
to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2026-45447)
Zehua Qiao and Jinwen He discovered that OpenSSL had a possible heap buffer
overflow in ASN.1 multibyte string conversion. An attacker could possibly
use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service,
or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-7383)
Bhabani Sankar Das discovered that OpenSSL had an out-of-bounds read in CMS
password-based decryption. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-9076)
