Calendar Grey February 24, 2026
Dist Debian Esm H88
Multiple security issues resolved in OpenSSL on Debian LTS that could lead to denial of service or memory corruption.
Aisle Research found multiple vulnerabilites in OpenSSL, a Secure Socket Layer toolkit providing the SSL and TLS cryptographic protocols for secure communication over the Internet

Summary

CVE-2025-68160

Petr Simecek (Aisle Research) and Stanislav Fort (Aisle Research) found
writing large, newline-free data into a BIO chain using the line-buffering
filter where the next BIO performs short writes can trigger a heap-based
out-of-bounds write. This out-of-bounds write can cause memory corruption
which typically results in a crash, leading to Denial of Service for an
application.

CVE-2025-69418

Stanislav Fort (Aisle Research) found using the low-level OCB API directly
with AES-NI or other hardware-accelerated code paths, inputs whose length
is not a multiple of 16 bytes can leave the final partial block unencrypted
and unauthenticated. The trailing 1-15 bytes of a message may be exposed in
cleartext on encryption and are not covered by the authentication tag,
allowing an attacker to read or tamper with those bytes without detection.

CVE-2025-69419

Stanislav Fort (Aisle Research) found a maliciously crafted PKCS#12 file
