Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow due to an integer underflow in the ECH extension parsing logic when calculating a buffer length, leading to writing beyond the bounds of an allocated buffer. An attacker can cause memory corruption or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted TLS 1.3 ECH extension data. This is only exploitable if ECH is enabled in the configuration.
