CVE-2026-7383

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. A signed integer overflow vulnerability exists when sizing the destination buffer for Unicode output. This can lead to a heap buffer overflow, which may result in a crash or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires an application to directly call specific functions with a large amount of attacker-controlled input.

Low impact. This flaw in OpenSSL's ASN1_mbstring_ncopy() function, leading to a heap buffer overflow, is difficult to exploit in typical Red Hat environments. Exploitation requires an application to directly call the vulnerable function with an extremely large, attacker-controlled input (over half a gigabyte), a scenario not present in standard OpenSSL certificate or network protocol handling.
