CVE-2026-63072— Heap Buffer Overflow in CMS Key Unwrapping

Quick assessment

Affected
OpenSSL OpenSSL
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

问题摘要： OpenSSL 的 CMS 解密功能在分配密钥解包输出缓冲区时，依据查询到的解包密钥大小来确定缓冲区大小。然而，AES-WRAP-PAD 解包原语可能会写入并清除比查询结果多出 8 字节的内存，从而导致一次 8 字节的堆溢出写入（out-of-bounds heap write）。 影响摘要： 攻击者通过提供精心构造的 CMS 消息，可在受害者使用 函数解密时触发确定性的 8 字节堆溢出写入，进而破坏堆内存结构，通常导致服务拒绝（Denial of Service, DoS）。 CWE 编号： CWE-

Vulnerability Title
Heap Buffer Overflow in CMS Key Unwrapping
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Issue summary: OpenSSL CMS decryption sizes the key-unwrap output buffer based on querying the unwrapped key size, but the AES-WRAP-PAD unwrap primitive can write and cleanse more bytes than that query reports, causing an 8-byte out-of-bounds heap write. Impact summary: An attacker who supplies a crafted CMS message can trigger a deterministic 8-byte out-of-bounds heap write when the victim decrypts it with CMS_decrypt(), corrupting the heap and typically resulting in a Denial of Service. CWE: CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write Description: The key-wrap OID is potentially attacker-controlled on the wire. CMS unwrapping allows both id-aesNNN-wrap-pad and id-aesNNN-wrap ciphers. An attacker can take a legitimate message and change a single OID byte to select the padded variant while leaving the message otherwise valid. Since the unwrap key is derived from the recipient's private operation (ECDH key agreement or ML-KEM decapsulation), the RFC 5649 integrity check cannot pass, and the decryption fails with integrity failure. The write is a fixed-size (8-byte), fixed-value (zero) heap overflow immediately past the allocation, requires no special configuration, and is reachable from the public CMS_decrypt() function. The consequence is a heap corruption leading to a Denial of Service. The fix in the CMS code sizes the unwrap output buffer for the worst case so a failed unwrap cannot write past the allocation. FIPS impact: no As the CMS code lives outside the FIPS module boundary, no FIPS modules are affected by this CVE.
