CVE-2026-1677
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Zephyr sockets created with `IPPROTO_TLS_1_3` can still negotiate a TLS 1.2 connection when both TLS versions are enabled in Kconfig, because the socket-level protocol selection is not propagated to mbedTLS (e.g. via `mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version`). The ClientHello advertises both versions and the peer can establish TLS 1.2, so applications that assumed `IPPROTO_TLS_1_3` enforces TLS 1.3 may silently use TLS 1.2 and remain exposed to TLS 1.2-specific weaknesses. As a workaround, the `TLS_CIPHERSUITE_LIST` socket option can be restricted to TLS 1.3-only cipher suites.

"value": "Los sockets de Zephyr creados con “IPPROTO_TLS_1_3” aún pueden negociar una conexión TLS 1.2 cuando ambas versiones de TLS están habilitadas en Kconfig, porque la selección de protocolo a nivel de socket no se propaga a mbedTLS (por ejemplo, a través de “mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_tls_version”). El ClientHello anuncia ambas versiones y el par puede establecer TLS 1.2, por lo que las aplicaciones que asumieron que “IPPROTO_TLS_1_3” impone TLS 1.3 pueden usar silenciosamente TLS 1.2 y permanecer expuestas a debilidades específicas de TLS 1.2. Como solución alternativa, la opción de socket “TLS_CIPHERSUITE_LIST” puede restringirse a suites de cifrado solo de TLS 1.3."
