FKIE_CVE-2026-34876
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-02 16:16 - Updated: 2026-07-24 21:10
Severity
Summary
An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS 3.x before 3.6.6. An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in mbedtls_ccm_finish() in library/ccm.c allows attackers to obtain adjacent CCM context data via invocation of the multipart CCM API with an oversized tag_len parameter. This is caused by missing validation of the tag_len parameter against the size of the internal 16-byte authentication buffer. The issue affects the public multipart CCM API in Mbed TLS 3.x, where mbedtls_ccm_finish() can be invoked directly by applications. In Mbed TLS 4.x versions prior to the fix, the same missing validation exists in the internal implementation; however, the function is not exposed as part of the public API. Exploitation requires application-level invocation of the multipart CCM API.

"value": "Se descubri\u00f3 un problema en Mbed TLS 3.x anterior a 3.6.6. Una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de l\u00edmites en mbedtls_ccm_finish() en biblioteca/ccm.c permite a los atacantes obtener datos de contexto CCM adyacentes mediante la invocaci\u00f3n de la API CCM multiparte con un par\u00e1metro tag_len de tama\u00f1o excesivo. Esto es causado por la falta de validaci\u00f3n del par\u00e1metro tag_len contra el tama\u00f1o del b\u00fafer de autenticaci\u00f3n interno de 16 bytes. El problema afecta a la API CCM multiparte p\u00fablica en Mbed TLS 3.x, donde mbedtls_ccm_finish() puede ser invocado directamente por las aplicaciones. En las versiones de Mbed TLS 4.x anteriores a la correcci\u00f3n, la misma falta de validaci\u00f3n existe en la implementaci\u00f3n interna; sin embargo, la funci\u00f3n no est\u00e1 expuesta como parte de la API p\u00fablica. La explotaci\u00f3n requiere la invocaci\u00f3n a nivel de aplicaci\u00f3n de la API CCM multiparte."
