CVE-2026-41676
rust-openssl provides OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language. From 0.9.27 to before 0.10.78, Deriver::derive (and PkeyCtxRef::derive) sets len = buf.len() and passes it as the in/out length to EVP_PKEY_derive, relying on OpenSSL to honor it. On OpenSSL 1.1.x, X25519, X448, DH and HKDF-extract ignore the incoming *keylen, unconditionally writing the full shared secret (32/56/prime-size bytes). A caller passing a short slice gets a heap/stack overflow from safe code. OpenSSL 3.x providers do check, so this only impacts older OpenSSL. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.78.

The rust-openssl library (versions before 0.10.78) contains a vulnerability that can lead to heap or stack overflows during cryptographic derivation. This occurs when using legacy OpenSSL 1.1.x with X25519, X448, DH, or HKDF-extract algorithms, as the underlying library may ignore buffer length constraints. Rust developers should update to rust-openssl 0.10.78 or migrate to OpenSSL 3.x.
