Vulnerability in Rust Openssl Project (CVE-2026-41681)
Summary
Vulnerability in Rust Openssl Project (CVE-2026-41681). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.10.78 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
rust-openssl provides OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language. From 0.10.39 to before 0.10.78, EVP_DigestFinal() always writes EVP_MD_CTX_size(ctx) to the out buffer. If out is smaller than that, MdCtxRef::digest_final() writes past its end, usually corrupting the stack. This is reachable from safe Rust. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.78.
