CVE-2026-1005

Integer underflow leads to out-of-bounds access in sniffer AES-GCM/CCM/ARIA-GCM decrypt path

Published Mar 19, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 2.1 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Integer underflow in wolfSSL packet sniffer <= 5.8.4 allows an attacker to cause a buffer overflow in the AEAD decryption path by injecting a TLS record shorter than the explicit IV plus authentication tag into traffic inspected by ssl_DecodePacket. The underflow wraps a 16-bit length to a large value that is passed to AEAD decryption routines, causing heap buffer overflow and a crash. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger this remotely via malformed TLS Application Data records.
