NVD description

Issue Summary: Cryptographic Message Services (CMS) processing fails to perform sufficient input validation on the cipher and tag length fields of AuthEnvelopedData containers, leading to various potential compromises. Impact Summary: Attackers making use of these vulnerabilities may achieve key-equivalent functionality for a given CMS recipient and/or bypass integrity validation for a given message. In one use case, an attacker may send a CMS message containing AuthEnvelopedData with the cipher specified as a non-AEAD cipher. OpenSSL erroneously allows this selection, and attempts to decrypt and validate the message. An on-path attacker who captures one legitimate AES-GCM AuthEnvelopedData addressed to the victim can re-emit it with the recipientInfos set left byte-for-byte intact, so the victim's private key still unwraps the genuine CEK (the content-encryption key), but with the inner OID rewritten to AES-256-OFB (Output Feedback Mode, an unauthenticated keystream mode) and with an attacker-chosen IV and ciphertext. The victim initializes AES-256-OFB under the real CEK, never consults the MAC field, and CMS_decrypt() returns success. If the application under attack responds to the attacker with any indicator showing success or failure of the decryption effort, it is possible for the attacker to use this as an oracle to obtain key equivalent functionality for the CEK used for the chosen recipient of the message. In another use case, an attacker can reduce the tag length of the chosen AEAD cipher for a given AuthEnvelopedData container to be a single byte long, allowing an attacker to brute force CMS decryption, producing an integrity bypass for applications that trust CMS_decrypt() to reject modified content. The FIPS modules are not affected by this issue.

    4/6 To see what is actually in there: apt changelog openssl | grep CVE On mine that lists CVE-2026-34180 and three separate patches for CVE-2026-34182. Both fixed, on a version string that reads unpatched.

    Post summary

    The text reports that patches for CVE‑2026‑34180 and CVE‑2026‑34182 are present and applied, though the version string incorrectly indicates they remain unpatched.

    🪟 MSRC link missing for a fresh OpenSSL CVE? Great, nothing like patch triage while the breadcrumb trail is broken. If CMS can be forged, “just update later” isn’t a plan. #Windows #Microsoft #Security #OpenSSL https://windowsforum.com/threads/cve-2026-34182-openssl-cms-authenvelopeddata-forgeries-and-windows-patch-triage.425779/?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=news_node84 #WindowsSecurity #SoftwareSupplyChain https://t.co/vTRPXrK6Ih

    Post summary

    The post highlights a missing MSRC link for CVE‑2026‑34182, indicating CMS forging issues, but provides no PoC, exploitation details, patch, or false‑positive claim.
