Summary

A certificate with no dNSName SAN but another SAN type present bypassed the Subject CN dNSName name-constraint check. This incomplete fix from CVE-2026-6731 was introduced in wolfSSL version 5.9.2.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can use a certificate with an invalid CN that should not be accepted for a given hostname, potentially leading to server impersonation or bypass of access controls.

Recommendation

Update wolfSSL to a version with the complete fix. If not possible, avoid using certificates with SAN types other than dNSName.

Original NVD description (English source)

A certificate with no dNSName SAN but another SAN type present (e.g. registeredID or iPAddress) bypassed the Subject CN dNSName name-constraint check. The CN-as-DNS fallback was gated on cert->subjectCN != NULL && cert->altNames == NULL && !cert->isCA instead of "no dNSName SAN", so an out-of-scope CN was accepted. This incomplete fix from CVE-2026-6731, leading to the name-constraint check issue, was introduced in wolfSSL version 5.9.2.
