Vulnerabilities

  • [Med] In the case that the WOLFSSL_CALLBACKS macro is set when building wolfSSL, there is a potential heap over read of 5 bytes when handling TLS 1.3 client connections. This heap over read is limited to wolfSSL builds explicitly setting the macro WOLFSSL_CALLBACKS, the feature does not get turned on by any other build options. The macro WOLFSSL_CALLBACKS is intended for debug use only, but if having it enabled in production, users are recommended to disable WOLFSSL_CALLBACKS. Users enabling WOLFSSL_CALLBACKS are recommended to update their version of wolfSSL. Thanks to Lucca Hirschi and Steve Kremer from LORIA, Inria and Max Ammann from Trail of Bits for finding and reporting the bug with the tlspuffin tool developed partly at LORIA and Trail of Bits. CVE 2022-42905
