Affected releases verify that OpenSSL recognizes the digest name but do not verify that the value fits in a fixed 16-byte checksum context field before copying it. An authenticated KSL client can supply an oversized, OpenSSL-recognized digest name and write beyond the end of the heap allocation.","published":"2026-10-01T15:17:32.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-01T20:34:26.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"df4dee71-de3a-4139-9588-11b62fe6c0ff","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-787"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00235,"percentile":0.14256,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-02","score":0.00235,"percentile":0.13054}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%).
