NVD description

A remote, unauthenticated TLS client can make a server crash or call through a freed pointer if its sni_callback assigns a different context to SSLSocket.context (the documented way to select a certificate per server name) and nothing else keeps the original ssl.SSLContext alive. Typical cases are servers that create an SSLContext per connection or replace it while connections are open; servers that wrap their listening socket with it are not affected. Mitigation: keep a reference to every SSLContext that sets sni_callback for the lifetime of the server. TLS clients are not affected.

    CVE-2026-19445 hits Python Software Foundation's CPython, CVSS 9.2. A remote unauthenticated TLS client can crash the server or hit a use-after-free by making its sni_callback swap SSLContext, no valid cert or auth needed. VulnTracker recommends upgrading CPython immediately, servers that create or replace an SSLContext per connection are the ones exposed.
