CVE-2026-6329

PKCS#12 MAC verification uses attacker-controlled comparison length

Published Jun 25, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
PKCS#12 MAC verification uses an attacker-controlled comparison length, weakening the integrity check on the MAC and allowing a mismatched MAC to be accepted. The PKCS#12 verify path compared the locally computed HMAC against the MAC parsed from the PKCS#12 structure using a length taken directly from the attacker-supplied input, without first verifying that it equals the length of the digest actually produced by the configured algorithm. A truncated or zero-length stored MAC could therefore be accepted, defeating the integrity protection of the MAC.
