UBUNTU-CVE-2026-55964

Chain intermediate CA:TRUE without keyCertSign accepted as a signing CA. Intermediate CA certificates are required to have the keyCertSign key usage when a Key Usage extension is present, but chain-supplied temporary CAs WOLFSSLTEMPCA added while building a certificate path were previously exempt...

CVE-2026-55964

CVE-2026-55964 describes a change in certificate path validation affecting OpenSSL-compatibility path building (X509_verify_cert / X509_STORE). Previously, chain-supplied temporary CAs (WOLFSSL_TEMP_CA) could be accepted as signing CAs even if the intermediate CA had CA:TRUE but lacked keyCertSig...

CVE-2026-55964 Chain intermediate CA:TRUE without keyCertSign accepted as a signing CA (temporary CA exemption)

Chain intermediate CA:TRUE without keyCertSign accepted as a signing CA. Intermediate CA certificates are required to have the keyCertSign key usage when a Key Usage extension is present, but chain-supplied temporary CAs WOLFSSLTEMPCA added while building a certificate path were previously exempt...

CVE-2026-6091

Partial-chain certificate verification may accept chains that terminate at a peer-supplied, untrusted intermediate certificate rather than a trusted anchor. An attacker could present a chain that ends at an intermediate they control and have it accepted as valid. This affects the OpenSSL...

CVE-2026-6091 Partial-chain verification accepts untrusted intermediate as trust anchor

Partial-chain certificate verification may accept chains that terminate at a peer-supplied, untrusted intermediate certificate rather than a trusted anchor. An attacker could present a chain that ends at an intermediate they control and have it accepted as valid. This affects the OpenSSL...

PT-2026-52573

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions wolfSSL affected versions not specified Description An issue exists where chain intermediate certificates asserting CA:TRUE but lacking the keyCertSign key usage were accepted as signing CAs. This occurs because chain-supplied temporary CAs...

AZL-70424 CVE-2025-38208 affecting package kernel 5.15.200.1-1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: add NULL check in automountfullpath page is checked for null in buildpathfromdentryoptionalprefix when tcon-originfullpath is not set. However, the check is missing when it is set. Add a check to prevent a potential...

webpki: CPU denial of service in certificate path building

When this crate is given a pathological certificate chain to validate, it will spend CPU time exponential with the number of candidate certificates at each step of path building. Both TLS clients and TLS servers that accept client certificate are affected. This was previously reported in...
