| Issue summary: The first concurrent use of the same X.509 certificate by
several threads may cause its cached extension data to be freed while
another thread is still using it.
Impact summary: A remote, unauthenticated peer could crash a multi-threaded
TLS client, or a multi-threaded TLS server that requests client
certificates, if the first certificate chains built to the same trusted CA
certificate are built by several connections at the same time. This is a
use-after-free read, which is likely to crash the process, resulting in a
Denial of Service.
CWE: CWE-416: Use After Free
Description: OpenSSL caches the decoded values of a certificate's X.509v3
extensions inside the X509 object the first time they are needed. In
OpenSSL 4.0 this cache is built in two phases: the extension values are
computed while holding a read lock on the certificate, and the results are
then installed into the certificate under a write lock. Because a read lock
does not exclude other readers, several threads can compute the cache for
the same certificate at the same time. Each thread that subsequently
acquires the write lock installs its own results and frees the values
installed by the thread before it, even though that earlier thread has
already marked the cache as complete and may have returned pointers into it
to its caller. A caller still using those pointers then reads freed memory.
Any certificate shared between threads is exposed the first time its
extensions are decoded. In TLS the certificates at risk are the trusted CA
certificates supplied for chain verification, by whatever means, since these
are shared by every connection and their extensions are decoded and cached
the first time a chain is built to them. Certificates sent by the peer are
decoded separately for each connection and are not shared, so they are not
affected. In a TLS client verifying server certificates, or a TLS server
that requests and verifies client certificates, the use-after-free could
only occur if the first chains built to the same trusted CA are built by
several connections at the same time.
FIPS impact: no
The FIPS module is not affected as X.509 certificate handling is outside
of the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
OpenSSL 4.0 is vulnerable to this issue.
OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.0, 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are not affected by this issue.
OpenSSL 4.0 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 4.0.3.
This issue was reported on 27 August 2026 by Tim Becker (Xint.io) and
independently in a public report on 31 August 2026 by aydinmercan.

| Use after free in Microsoft Install Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) Miniport Driver allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Ghidra versions through 12.1.4 contain a heap use-after-free vulnerability in the decompiler's Funcdata::opInsertAfter function caused by stale INDIRECT effect-op references. Attackers can craft a malicious binary with a specific x86-64 sequence that triggers the vulnerability during decompilation, causing the decompile helper process to crash and denying service to analysts and automated analysis pipelines. |
| Use after free in Audio Video Control Transport Protocol allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| IBM Concert 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 references or accesses memory after it has been freed. This allows an attacker who can influence program execution or input may exploit this condition to corrupt memory, cause application crashes, or execute arbitrary code. |
| Use after free in Connected Devices Platform Service (Cdpsvc) allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Use after free in Reliable Multicast Transport Driver (RMCAST) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network. |
| Net::IDN::Punycode versions from 2.301 before 2.590 for Perl allow a heap use-after-free via a decoded code point that reallocates the output buffer in decode_punycode.
The XS backend inserts each decoded code point into the string buffer of the scalar it returns. decode_punycode computes the insertion pointer first and only then grows the buffer when the code point does not fit. The growth reallocates the buffer and updates every pointer except the insertion pointer, so the move that follows and the write of the code point go through a freed pointer. The buffer starts at twice the label length, and a code point above U+FFFF takes four bytes in the output, so a label of such code points outgrows it and forces the reallocation.
Version 2.301, the fix for CVE-2016-15059, introduced the defect. Only the XS backend is affected.
Decoding an attacker-supplied punycode label reads and writes freed heap memory. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix possible UAF in ip6_finish_output2()
If skb_expand_head() returns NULL, skb has been freed
and associated dst/idev could also have been freed.
We need to hold rcu_read_lock() to make sure the dst and
associated idev are alive. |
