  - Issue summary: Parsing CMS AuthEnvelopedData or EnvelopedData message with maliciously crafted AEAD
    parameters can trigger a stack buffer overflow. Impact summary: A stack buffer overflow may lead to a
    crash, causing Denial of Service, or potentially remote code execution. When parsing CMS
    (Auth)EnvelopedData structures that use AEAD ciphers such as AES-GCM, the IV (Initialization Vector)
    encoded in the ASN.1 parameters is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without verifying that its length
    fits the destination. An attacker can supply a crafted CMS message with an oversized IV, causing a stack-
    based out-of-bounds write before any authentication or tag verification occurs. Applications and services
    that parse untrusted CMS or PKCS#7 content using AEAD ciphers (e.g., S/MIME (Auth)EnvelopedData with AES-
    GCM) are vulnerable. Because the overflow occurs prior to authentication, no valid key material is
    required to trigger it. While exploitability to remote code execution depends on platform and toolchain
    mitigations, the stack-based write primitive represents a severe risk. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4,
    3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the CMS implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module
    boundary. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are not
    affected by this issue. (CVE-2025-15467)
