CVE-2026-3549

Heap Overflow in TLS 1.3 ECH parsing.

HIGH 8.3EPSS 0.50%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.50%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Heap Overflow in TLS 1.3 ECH parsing. An integer underflow existed in ECH extension parsing logic when calculating a buffer length, which resulted in writing beyond the bounds of an allocated buffer. Note that in wolfSSL, ECH is off by default, and the ECH standard is still evolving.
