Issue summary: Calling the OpenSSL API function SSLfreebuffers may cause memory to be accessed that was previously freed in some situations Impact summary: A use after free can have a range of potential consequences such as the corruption of valid data, crashes or execution of arbitrary code...

JLSEC-2026-220 The X.509 GeneralName type is a generic type for representing different types of names

The X.509 GeneralName type is a generic type for representing different types of names. One of those name types is known as EDIPartyName. OpenSSL provides a function GENERALNAMEcmp which compares different instances of a GENERALNAME to see if they are equal or not. This function behaves incorrect...

JLSEC-2026-240 Issue summary: The AES-SIV cipher implementation contains a bug that causes it to ignore empty...

Issue summary: The AES-SIV cipher implementation contains a bug that causes it to ignore empty associated data entries which are unauthenticated as a consequence. Impact summary: Applications that use the AES-SIV algorithm and want to authenticate empty data entries as associated data can be misl...

JLSEC-2026-228 The `c_rehash` script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection

The crehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the...

JLSEC-2026-227 openssl-src's infinite loop in `BN_mod_sqrt()` reachable when parsing certificates

The BNmodsqrt function, which computes a modular square root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop forever for non-prime moduli. Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a...

JLSEC-2026-221 Integer Overflow in openssl-src

Calls to EVPCipherUpdate, EVPEncryptUpdate and EVPDecryptUpdate may overflow the output length argument in some cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissable length for an integer on the platform. In such cases the return value from the function call will be 1 indicating succes...

JLSEC-2026-230 AES OCB fails to encrypt some bytes

AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimised implementation will not encrypt the entirety of the data under some circumstances. This could reveal sixteen bytes of data that was preexisting in the memory that wasn't written. In the special case of "in place" encryption...

JLSEC-2026-234 Vulnerable OpenSSL included in cryptography wheels

There is a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. X.400 addresses were parsed as an ASN1STRING but the public structure definition for GENERALNAME incorrectly specified the type of the x400Address field as ASN1TYPE. This field is subsequentl...

JLSEC-2026-261 Issue summary: Writing large, newline-free data into a BIO chain using the line-buffering filter...

Issue summary: Writing large, newline-free data into a BIO chain using the line-buffering filter where the next BIO performs short writes can trigger a heap-based out-of-bounds write. Impact summary: This out-of-bounds write can cause memory corruption which typically results in a crash, leading ...

JLSEC-2026-233 openssl-src vulnerable to Use-after-free following `BIO_new_NDEF`

The public API function BIOnewNDEF is a helper function used for streaming ASN.1 data via a BIO. It is primarily used internally to OpenSSL to support the SMIME, CMS and PKCS7 streaming capabilities, but may also be called directly by end user applications. The function receives a BIO from the...

JLSEC-2026-242 Issue summary: The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation contains a bug that...

Issue summary: The POLY1305 MAC message authentication code implementation contains a bug that might corrupt the internal state of applications on the Windows 64 platform when running on newer X8664 processors supporting the AVX512-IFMA instructions. Impact summary: If in an application that uses...

JLSEC-2026-216 There is an overflow bug in the `x64_64` Montgomery squaring procedure used in exponentiation with...

There is an overflow bug in the x6464 Montgomery squaring procedure used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024, 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are...

JLSEC-2026-225 Read buffer overruns processing ASN.1 strings

ASN.1 strings are represented internally within OpenSSL as an ASN1STRING structure which contains a buffer holding the string data and a field holding the buffer length. This contrasts with normal C strings which are repesented as a buffer for the string data which is terminated with a NUL 0 byte...

JLSEC-2026-263 Issue summary: Calling `PKCS12_get_friendlyname()` function on a maliciously crafted PKCS#12 file...

Issue summary: Calling PKCS12getfriendlyname function on a maliciously crafted PKCS12 file with a BMPString UTF-16BE friendly name containing non-ASCII BMP code point can trigger a one byte write before the allocated buffer. Impact summary: The out-of-bounds write can cause a memory corruption...

pyOpenSSL: DTLS cookie callback buffer overflow

A flaw was found in pyOpenSSL. The setcookiegeneratecallback callback function can be used to generate DTLS cookies. When the callback returns a cookie string or byte sequence longer than 256 bytes, a buffer overflow can be triggered due to a missing bounds checking before copying the data to a...
