Calendar Grey August 18, 2025
Dist Debian Esm H88
Numerous security issues have been addressed in mbedtls, impacting Debian 11 bullseye. It is advisable to upgrade.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been fixed in mbedtls, a lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library

Summary

CVE-2025-47917

MbedTLS allows use-after-free in certain situations in the correctly
developed applications.

CVE-2025-48965

The handling of val.p and val.len in mbedtls_asn1_store_named_data was
inconsistent and allowed NULL pointer dereference. The fix for this issue
depended on fixes for two related issues in the same piece of code, which
are now also fixed.

CVE-2025-52496

A race condition in AESNI detection could occur if certain compiler
optimisations were applied, making it possible to extract an AES key from
a multithreaded program or perform a GCM forgery.

CVE-2025-52497

In mbedtls_pem_read_buffer and two mbedtls_pk_parse functions, one-byte
heap-based buffer underflow could occur.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
2.16.9-0.1+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your mbedtls packages.
