About this tag
The wolfSSL tag on WindowsForum.com covers security vulnerabilities and patches for the wolfSSL lightweight TLS/SSL library. Recent discussions focus on high-severity CVEs including certificate validation bypass (CVE-2025-7395), fork-safety issues in RAND_bytes (CVE-2025-7394), TLS 1.3 padding bugs causing DoS and memory exposure (CVE-2024-0901), timing side channels (CVE-2025-13912), signature downgrade (CVE-2025-11934), duplicate KeyShare DoS (CVE-2025-11933 and CVE-2025-11936), and XChaCha20-Poly1305 decrypt underflow (CVE-2025-11931). These threads provide technical analysis, impact assessments, and upgrade guidance for developers and IT professionals managing wolfSSL deployments.

    CVE-2025-7395: WolfSSL Apple Cert Validation Bypass

    The industry disclosure for CVE-2025-7395 describes a dangerous certificate-validation bypass in wolfSSL that can allow a malicious or misconfigured server to present a certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority and have that certificate accepted for any hostname when wolfSSL is built...

    CVE-2025-7394: Patch wolfSSL RAND_bytes Fork Safety (5.8.2+)

    A subtle bug in wolfSSL’s OpenSSL compatibility layer has quietly exposed a classic fork‑safety failure: under certain conditions, calls to RAND_bytes() in a child process could produce predictable values because the pseudo‑random generator state was inherited unchanged across fork(). The issue...

    CVE-2024-0901: WolfSSL TLS 1.3 Padding Bug Triggers DoS and Memory Exposure

    A malformed TLS 1.3 packet can crash a wolfSSL server or force it to read memory outside its bounds — a vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-0901 that was disclosed in early 2024 and fixed by wolfSSL in the 5.7.x release series. This issue is not a local misconfiguration or an edge-case...

    CVE-2025-13912: WolfSSL Timing Side Channel Fixed in 5.8.4

    CVE-2025-13912 is a timing‑side‑channel concern in wolfSSL where compiler optimizations (notably from Clang/LLVM toolchains) can transform carefully written constant‑time C code into binaries whose runtime varies with secret data — a behavior that undermines cryptographic assumptions and was...

    Understanding CVE-2025-11934: WolfSSL TLS 1.3 Signature Downgrade Fixed in 5.8.4

    wolfSSL disclosed a protocol‑validation flaw tracked as CVE‑2025‑11934 that can let a TLS 1.3 handshake inadvertently downgrade the signature algorithm used for CertificateVerify, enabling a server‑side negotiation to settle on a weaker ECDSA curve than the client originally preferred — a...

    wolfSSL Patch Fixes TLS 1.3 Duplicate KeyShare DoS CVE-2025-11933

    wolfSSL has published a patch and coordinated disclosures after researchers reported a denial‑of‑service weakness in its TLS 1.3 ClientHello parsing: specially crafted ClientHello messages that include duplicate key_share (CKS) entries can force excessive resource consumption in wolfSSL 5.8.2...

    wolfSSL TLS 1.3 DoS Fix: CVE-2025-11936 in v5.8.4

    wolfSSL has patched a denial‑of‑service weakness in its TLS 1.3 handshake code after researchers discovered that a specially crafted ClientHello containing duplicate KeyShareEntry values for the same group can force excessive CPU and memory use during ClientHello processing, leading to...
