[TLP:CLEAR] OpenSSL fixes 12 vulnerabilities

OpenSSL fixes 12 vulnerabilities in versions 3.6.1, 3.5.5, ​3.4.4, 3.3.6, 3.0.19, 1.1.1ze and 1.0.2zn [1]. The most severe of them are described below; the full list can be found at [1]. The OpenSSL FIPS modules are not affected by these vulnerabilities.

OpenSSL - DoS, remote code execution (CVE-2025-15467)
CVSS 9.8 (Critical)

Due to a write beyond the bounds of allocated stack memory when processing encrypted CMS messages with AEAD ciphers, an unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a DoS attack or potentially achieve remote code execution [1].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • OpenSSL; >=3.6, <3.6.1; >=3.5, <3.5.5; >=3.4, <3.4.4; >=3.3, <3.3.6; >=3.0, <3.0.19

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

More information:

The vulnerability was publicly disclosed 27. 1. 2026.

OpenSSL - DoS, code execution (CVE-2025-11187)
CVSS 6.1 (Medium)

When processing specially crafted PKCS#12 files, due to insufficient validation of input parameters, an authenticated local attacker can cause a DoS attack or potentially code execution [1].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • OpenSSL; >=3.4.0, <3.4.4; >=3.5.0, <3.5.5; >=3.6.0, <3.6.1

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H

More information:

The vulnerability was publicly disclosed 27. 1. 2026.

OpenSSL - DoS (CVE-2025-66199)
CVSS 5.9 (Medium)

Due to insufficient size checking of compressed TLS 1.3 certificates, an unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger excessive memory allocation, which may lead to a DoS attack. A temporary mitigation is to disable the acceptance of compressed certificates by setting the SSL_OP_NO_RX_CERTIFICATE_COMPRESSION option [1].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • OpenSSL; >=3.3.0, <3.3.6; >=3.4.0, <3.4.4; >=3.5.0, <3.5.5; >=3.6.0, <3.6.1

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

More information:

The vulnerability was publicly disclosed 27. 1. 2026.
