RHSA-2026:64774
Vulnerability from csaf_opensuse - Published: 2026-09-08 03:17 - Updated: 2026-11-06 22:22A flaw was found in python-cryptography versions 46.0.6 through 48.x. The X.509 verifier incorrectly handles wildcard DNS Subject Alternative Names when evaluating permitted name constraints: a leaf SAN such as *.example.com may be accepted under a more specific permitted subtree (for example foo.example.com), allowing escape to sibling names outside the permitted set. This can lead to acceptance of an invalid certificate chain. Ordinary Web PKI topologies are not affected.

A flaw was found in python-cryptography. When processing invalid certificate chains that include duplicate self-signed certificates, the system recursively invokes the same certificate, leading to an exponential increase in processing time. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted certificate chain, causing resource exhaustion and a denial of service (DoS) condition, making the system unavailable. The integrity of the system's validation is not affected, only its availability.
