botan: CVE-2018-9860

Severity: High · CVSS 7.5CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Published: Apr 12, 2018, 5:29:00 AM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 1.36% · Oct 25, 2026

An issue was discovered in Botan 1.11.32 through 2.x before 2.6.0. An off-by-one error when processing malformed TLS-CBC ciphertext could cause the receiving side to include in the HMAC computation exactly 64K bytes of data following the record buffer, aka an over-read. The MAC comparison will subsequently fail and the connection will be closed. This could be used for denial of service. No information leak occurs.
