OpenSSL 3.6
-----------
### Changes between 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 [7 Apr 2026]
* Fixed incorrect failure handling in RSA KEM RSASVE encapsulation.
Severity: Moderate
Issue summary: Applications using RSASVE key encapsulation to establish
a secret encryption key can send contents of an uninitialized memory buffer
to a malicious peer.
Impact summary: The uninitialized buffer might contain sensitive data
from the previous execution of the application process which leads
to sensitive data leakage to an attacker.
Reported by: Simo Sorce (Red Hat).
([CVE-2026-31790])
*Nikola Pajkovsky*
* Fixed loss of key agreement group tuple structure when the `DEFAULT` keyword
is used in the server-side configuration of the key-agreement group list.
Severity: Low
Issue summary: An OpenSSL TLS 1.3 server may fail to negotiate the expected
preferred key exchange group when its key exchange group configuration
includes the default by using the 'DEFAULT' keyword.
Impact summary: A less preferred key exchange may be used even when a more
preferred group is supported by both client and server, if the group
was not included among the client's initial predicated keyshares.
This will sometimes be the case with the new hybrid post-quantum groups,
if the client chooses to defer their use until specifically requested by
the server.
<!-- https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/30111 -->
* Fixed out-of-bounds read in AES-CFB-128 on x86-64 CPUs with AVX-512 support.
Severity: Low
Issue summary: Applications using AES-CFB128 encryption or decryption on
systems with AVX-512 and VAES support can trigger an out-of-bounds read
of up to 15 bytes when processing partial cipher blocks.
Impact summary: This out-of-bounds read may trigger a crash which leads to
Denial of Service for an application if the input buffer ends at a memory
page boundary and the following page is unmapped. There is no information
disclosure as the over-read bytes are not written to output.
Reported by: Stanislav Fort (Aisle Research), Pavel Kohout (Aisle Research),
and Alex Gaynor (Anthropic).
([CVE-2026-28386])
*Stanislav Fort, Pavel Kohout, and Alex Gaynor*
* Fixed potential use-after-free in DANE client code.
Severity: Low
Issue summary: An uncommon configuration of clients performing DANE
TLSA-based server authentication, when paired with uncommon server DANE TLSA
records, may result in a use-after-free and/or double-free on the client
side.
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.
Reported by: Igor Morgenstern (Aisle Research).
([CVE-2026-28387])
*Viktor Dukhovni*
* Fixed NULL pointer dereference when processing a delta CRL.
Severity: Low
Issue summary: When a delta CRL that contains a Delta CRL Indicator extension
is processed, a NULL pointer dereference might happen if the required CRL
Number extension is missing.
Impact summary: A NULL pointer dereference can trigger a crash which
leads to a Denial of Service for an application.
Reported by: Igor Morgenstern (Aisle Research).
([CVE-2026-28388])
*Igor Morgenstern*
* Fixed possible NULL dereference when processing CMS KeyAgreeRecipientInfo.
Severity: Low
Issue summary: During processing of a crafted CMS EnvelopedData message
with KeyAgreeRecipientInfo a NULL pointer dereference can happen.
Impact summary: Applications that process attacker-controlled CMS data may
crash before authentication or cryptographic operations occur resulting in
Denial of Service.
Reported by: Nathan Sportsman (Praetorian), Daniel Rhea,
Jaeho Nam (Seoul National University), Muhammad Daffa,
Zhanpeng Liu (Tencent Xuanwu Lab), Guannan Wang (Tencent Xuanwu Lab),
Guancheng Li (Tencent Xuanwu Lab), and Joshua Rogers.
([CVE-2026-28389])
*Neil Horman*
* Fixed possible NULL dereference when processing CMS
KeyTransportRecipientInfo.
Severity: Low
Issue summary: During processing of a crafted CMS EnvelopedData message
with KeyTransportRecipientInfo a NULL pointer dereference can happen.
Impact summary: Applications that process attacker-controlled CMS data may
crash before authentication or cryptographic operations occur resulting in
Denial of Service.
Reported by: Muhammad Daffa, Zhanpeng Liu (Tencent Xuanwu Lab),
Guannan Wang (Tencent Xuanwu Lab), Guancheng Li (Tencent Xuanwu Lab),
Joshua Rogers, and Chanho Kim.
([CVE-2026-28390])
*Neil Horman*
* Fixed heap buffer overflow in hexadecimal conversion.
Severity: Low
Issue summary: Converting an excessively large OCTET STRING value to
a hexadecimal string leads to a heap buffer overflow on 32 bit platforms.
Impact summary: A heap buffer overflow may lead to a crash or possibly
an attacker controlled code execution or other undefined behavior.
Reported by: Quoc Tran (Xint.io - US Team).
([CVE-2026-31789])
*Igor Ustinov*
* Fixed usage of `openssl s_client -connect HOST -proxy PROXY` with `HOST`
containing a raw IPv6 address.
<!-- https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/30384 -->
*Peter Zhang*
* Fixed broken detection of plantext HTTP over TLS.
<!-- https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/30411 -->
*Matt Caswell*
* Fixed performance regressions introduced in 3.6 caused by the lack
of usage of CPU-capability-specific optimisations with non-EVP APIs,
as the capability detection was no longer performed during library load.
<!-- https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/30557 -->
