CRITICAL9.8EPSS 0.06%rust-openssl: Unchecked callback length in PSK/cookie trampolines leaks adjacent memory to peer
Published: 4/22/2026Modified: 5/6/2026
Description
The FFI trampolines behind `SslContextBuilder::set_psk_client_callback`, `set_psk_server_callback`, `set_cookie_generate_cb`, and `set_stateless_cookie_generate_cb` forwarded the user closure's returned usize directly to OpenSSL without checking it against the `&mut [u8]` that was handed to the closure. This can lead to buffer overflows and other unintended consequences.
