    - openssl: heap buffer overflow in CMS key unwrapping (CVE-2026-63072)
     - openssl: compat-openssl: DTLS Retransmits Handshake Messages From a Stale Buffer Offset
    (CVE-2026-84782)
    CVE-2026-63072
    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.
    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.
