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)
