CVE-2026-41678
rust-openssl provides OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language. From to before 0.10.78, aes::unwrap_key() contains an incorrect assertion: it checks that out.len() + 8 <= in_.len(), but this condition is reversed. The intended invariant is out.len() >= in_.len() - 8, ensuring the output buffer is large enough. Because of the inverted check, the function only accepts buffers at or below the minimum required size and rejects larger ones. If a smaller buffer is provided the function will write past the end of out by in_.len() - 8 - out.len() bytes, causing an out-of-bounds write from a safe public function. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.78.

The rust-openssl crate, widely used for cryptography in Rust applications, contains a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in versions prior to 0.10.78. Due to an inverted logic check in the aes::unwrap_key function, an attacker could trigger an out-of-bounds write, potentially leading to remote code execution in applications performing key unwrapping operations.
