CVE-2026-43820
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
NIOSSLCertificate._subjectAlternativeNames provides access to the raw bytes for a cert's SANs. NIOSSL provides access to a buffer assumed to be backed by an ASN1_STRING, but not all SANs are backed by ASN1_STRING, so accessing the buffer for such a type can lead to out-of-bounds memory access. This vulnerability is addressed in swift-nio-ssl version 2.37.2.

NIOSSL proporciona acceso a un búfer que se asume que está respaldado por un ASN1_STRING, pero no todos los SAN están respaldados por un ASN1_STRING, por lo que acceder al búfer para dicho tipo puede llevar a un acceso a memoria fuera de límites. Esta vulnerabilidad se aborda en swift-nio-ssl versión 2.37.2."
