"The remote MiracleLinux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2026-2042:05 advisory.
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.
CVE-2026-84782
Issue summary: The DTLS retransmission logic does not correctly handle a handshake message write that is
suspended part-way through. The retransmitted message can be read past the message buffer and the
retransmission overwrites the internal state the suspended write needs to resume correctly. Impact
summary: The retransmitted message can disclose a heap memory to the peer as plaintext handshake data or
cause a crash and a Denial of Service when the read reaches an unmapped memory region. CWE: CWE-125: Out-
of-bounds Read Description: DTLS handshake messages can be written out in multiple fragments, and a write
can suspend mid-message (returning WANT_WRITE) if the underlying transport temporarily cannot accept more
data. While such a write is suspended, the DTLS retransmission timer may independently fire and ask the
retransmission logic to resend an earlier, already-acknowledged-as-sent message from its retransmit queue.
The retransmission logic reused the same internal buffer and position tracking as the message that was
still being written, without resetting the position back to the start of the message being retransmitted.
As a result the retransmission was read starting from wherever the suspended write had left off, producing
a mislabelled message whose body was leftover bytes from the other, larger message still in flight -
content that was never meant to be sent at that point, and which could run past the end of the allocated
buffer. Separately, even when the retransmission is positioned correctly, allowing it to run to completion
while another write is suspended overwrites the same shared bookkeeping that the suspended write depends
on to resume. When the application later resumes the suspended write (via a subsequent SSL_read(),
SSL_write(), SSL_accept(), or SSL_connect() call), it finds that bookkeeping in a state inconsistent with
the message and aborts the process in a debugging build. The fix resets the retransmission's read position
to the start of the message before resending, and skips retransmission entirely whenever a handshake write
is still suspended, deferring to the next call that resumes it instead. FIPS impact: no The affected code
is outside the FIPS module boundary.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
