CVE-2026-84782 — DTLS Retransmits Handshake Messages From a Stale Buffer Offset

2026-09-30T12:18:06.678931+00:00

Affected: OpenSSL

Issue summary: The DTLS retransmission logic does not correctly handle a handshake message write that is suspended part-way through. The retransmitted message can be read past the message buffer and the retransmission overwrites the internal state the suspended write needs to resume correctly.

Impact summary: The retransmitted message can disclose a heap memory to the peer as plaintext handshake data or cause a crash and a Denial of Service when the read reaches an unmapped memory region.

CWE: CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read

Description: DTLS handshake messages can be written out in multiple fragments, and a write can suspend mid-message (returning WANT_WRITE) if the underlying transport temporarily cannot accept more data. While such a write is suspended, the DTLS retransmission timer may independently fire and ask the retransmission logic to resend an earlier, already-acknowledged-as-sent message from its retransmit queue.

The retransmission logic reused the same internal buffer and position tracking as the message that was still being written, without resetting the position back to the start of the message being retransmitted. As a result the retransmission was read starting from wherever the suspended write had left off, producing a mislabelled message whose body was leftover bytes from the other, larger message still in flight - content that was never meant to be sent at that point, and which could run past the end of the allocated buffer.

USN-8847-1 — openssl vulnerabilities

2026-09-30T12:18:06.679004+00:00

Affected: Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: openssl, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: openssl, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: openssl

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain certificate revocation list distribution point names. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume excessive memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-35189)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled QUIC unvalidated amplification credit accounting. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-35191)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly implemented scalar multiplication for non-NIST elliptic curves. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-54872)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly implemented SM2 scalar multiplication on ARM64 and RISC-V architectures. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing side-channel attack and obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-54875)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled SSL context switching during a TLS handshake. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause an out-of-bounds read, resulting in a denial of service or obtaining sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-72897)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly enforced QUIC connection- level flow control for streams. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume excess…
