CVE-2026-41681 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:25.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rust-openssl package and not the rust-openssl package as distributed by Ubuntu.
rust-openssl provides OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language. From 0.10.39 to before 0.10.78, EVP_DigestFinal() always writes EVP_MD_CTX_size(ctx) to the out buffer. If out is smaller than that, MdCtxRef::digest_final() writes past its end, usually corrupting the stack. This is reachable from safe Rust. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.78.
