Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-32988)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when exporting a certificate with an otherName in the SAN (subject alternative name) extension. A remote attacker can trick the victim into export a specially crafted certificate, trigger a double free error on the ASN.1 structure and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-32989)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling the Certificate Transparency (CT) Signed Certificate Timestamp (SCT) extension during X.509 certificate parsing. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted X.509 certificate to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-32990)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when the certtool program is invoked with a template file with a number of string pairs for a single keyword. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-6395)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when a TLS 1.3 handshake involves a Hello Retry Request and the second Client Hello omits the PSK which was present in the first Client Hello. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
