CVE-2026-92853 PUBLISHED

Out-of-bounds Read via a Zero-length TLS 1.3 Certificate Message in NetX Secure

Assigner: eclipse
Reserved: 23.09.2026 Published: 20.10.2026 Updated: 20.10.2026

The TLS 1.3 Certificate-message parser in NetX Secure decrements the message length to skip a context byte without first establishing that the message has a byte to skip. A zero-length Certificate message therefore wraps the unsigned length to 0xFFFFFFFF, which makes the bounds check that follows vacuous and sends the parser reading past the session packet buffer.

The trigger is a four-byte handshake header and requires no cryptographic validity. It is reachable pre-authentication.
