CVE-2026-2100

P11-kit: null dereference via c_derivekey with specific null parameters

Published Mar 26, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS 1.3% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in p11-kit. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by calling the C_DeriveKey function on a remote token with specific IBM kyber or IBM btc derive mechanism parameters set to NULL. This could lead to the RPC-client attempting to return an uninitialized value, potentially resulting in a NULL dereference or undefined behavior. This issue may cause an application level denial of service or other unpredictable system states.
