Vulnerabilities

  • [Low] When the OpenSSL compatibility layer is enabled, certificate
    verification behaved differently in wolfSSL than OpenSSL, in the
    X509_STORE_add_cert() and X509_STORE_load_locations() implementations.
    Previously, in cases where an application explicitly loaded an intermediate
    certificate, wolfSSL was verifying only up to that intermediate certificate,
    rather than verifying up to the root CA. This only affects use cases where the
    API is called directly, and does not affect TLS connections. Users that call
    the API X509_STORE_add_cert() or X509_STORE_load_locations() directly in their
    applications are recommended to update the version of wolfSSL used or to have
    additional sanity checks on certificates loaded into the X509_STORE when
    verifying a certificate. (#8087)

PQC TLS Experimental Build Fix

  • When using TLS with post quantum algorithms enabled, the connection uses a
    smaller EC curve than agreed on. Users building with --enable-experimental and
    enabling PQC cipher suites with TLS connections are recommended to update the
    version of wolfSSL used. Thanks to Daniel Correa for the report.
    (#8084)
