CVE-2026-93475

CriticalCVSS 9.3
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The X.509 parser in NetX Secure accepts an RSA public key of any size, but signature-verification paths decrypt into fixed-size buffers dimensioned for the NX_CRYPTO_MAX_RSA_MODULUS_SIZE default of 4096 bits. A certificate with a larger modulus causes an out-of-bounds write past a file-scope static during ordinary certificate-chain verification, reachable pre-authentication.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds write by supplying a malicious certificate chain. This may lead to arbitrary code execution or service crash.

Recommendation

Update NetX Secure to a patched version and consider restricting accepted RSA key sizes.

Original NVD description (English source)

The X.509 parser in NetX Secure accepts an RSA public key of any size, but every signature-verification path decrypts into fixed-size buffers dimensioned for the `NX_CRYPTO_MAX_RSA_MODULUS_SIZE` default of 4096 bits. A certificate carrying a larger modulus drives an out-of-bounds write past a file-scope static during ordinary certificate-chain verification. It is reachable pre-authentication. The issuer used for the crypto operation is looked up in the remote, peer-supplied store before the trusted store, so the attacker supplies the oversized key themselves as an intermediate in the chain they present. It triggers on a TLS or DTLS client verifying a malicious server's chain, and on a server performing client-certificate authentication.
