FKIE_CVE-2026-2681

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-19 07:17 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:31
Severity
5.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Summary
A flaw was found in the blst cryptographic library. This out-of-bounds stack write vulnerability, specifically in the blst_sha256_bcopy assembly routine, occurs due to a missing zero-length guard. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a zero-length salt parameter to key generation functions, such as blst_keygen_v5(), if the application exposes this functionality. Successful exploitation leads to memory corruption and immediate process termination, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

Esta vulnerabilidad de escritura fuera de l\u00edmites en la pila, espec\u00edficamente en la rutina de ensamblador blst_sha256_bcopy, ocurre debido a que falta una guarda de longitud cero. Un atacante en remoto puede explotar esto al proporcionar un par\u00e1metro de \u0027salt\u0027 de longitud cero a funciones de generaci\u00f3n de claves, como blst_keygen_v5(), si la aplicaci\u00f3n expone esta funcionalidad.
