CVE-2026-39855
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
osslsigncode is a tool that implements Authenticode signing and timestamping. Prior to 2.13, an integer underflow vulnerability exists in osslsigncode version 2.12 and earlier in the PE page-hash computation code (pe_page_hash_calc()). When page hash processing is performed on a PE file, the function subtracts hdrsize from pagesize without first validating that pagesize >= hdrsize. If a malicious PE file sets SizeOfHeaders (hdrsize) larger than SectionAlignment (pagesize), the subtraction underflows and produces a very large unsigned length. The code allocates a zero-filled buffer of pagesize bytes and then attempts to hash pagesize - hdrsize bytes from that buffer. After the underflow, this results in an out-of-bounds read from the heap and can crash the process. The vulnerability can be triggered while signing a malicious PE file with page hashing enabled (-ph), or while verifying a malicious signed PE file that already contains page hashes. Verification of an already signed file does not require the verifier to pass -ph. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.13.

"value": "osslsigncode es una herramienta que implementa la firma Authenticode y el sellado de tiempo. Antes de la versión 2.13, existe una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento negativo de enteros en osslsigncode versión 2.12 y anteriores en el código de cálculo de hash de página PE (pe_page_hash_calc()). Cuando se realiza el procesamiento de hash de página en un archivo PE, la función resta hdrsize de pagesize sin validar primero que pagesize >= hdrsize. Si un archivo PE malicioso establece SizeOfHeaders (hdrsize) mayor que SectionAlignment (pagesize), la resta sufre un desbordamiento negativo y produce una longitud sin signo muy grande. El código asigna un búfer rellenado con ceros de pagesize bytes y luego intenta aplicar hash a pagesize - hdrsize bytes de ese búfer. Después del desbordamiento negativo, esto resulta en una lectura fuera de límites de la pila y puede bloquear el proceso. La vulnerabilidad puede ser activada mientras se firma un archivo PE malicioso con el hash de página habilitado (-ph), o mientras se verifica un archivo PE firmado malicioso que ya contiene hashes de página. La verificación de un archivo ya firmado no requiere que el verificador pase -ph. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 2.13."
