CVE-2026-63566— DTLS handshake reassembler allocates buffer from unchecked 24-bit length

Quick assessment

Affected
Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp
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.

在 Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. 发布的 bc-csharp 库（版本号低于 2.7.0）中，DTLS 握手重组过程（涉及 DtlsReliableHandshake 和 DtlsReassembler 组件）存在内存分配过大问题。该漏洞允许远程未认证的 DTLS 对等方通过构造精心设计的握手消息分片，导致服务器内存耗尽，从而引发拒绝服务（DoS）攻击。其根本原因在于：对于每个传入的握手消息，重组缓冲区的大小是直接根据分片报头中声明的 24 位长度进行分配的，而没有像 TLS 那

Vulnerability Title
DTLS handshake reassembler allocates buffer from unchecked 24-bit length
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Memory allocation with excessive size value in the DTLS handshake reassembly (DtlsReliableHandshake, DtlsReassembler) in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp before 2.7.0 allows a remote unauthenticated DTLS peer to cause a denial of service through memory exhaustion via crafted handshake message fragments, because the reassembly buffer for each incoming handshake message was allocated at the 24-bit length declared in the fragment header, without the check against the peer's maximum handshake message size that TLS already applied. A fragment carrying no payload can force an allocation of almost 16 MB, for each of up to 16 pending messages per handshake, before the handshake is authenticated. DTLS servers and DTLS clients are both affected; TLS is not.
