CVE-2026-93475 PUBLISHED

Out-of-bounds Write via an Unbounded RSA Modulus in NetX Secure X.509

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

The X.509 parser in NetX Secure accepts an RSA public key of any size, but every signature-verification path decrypts into fixed-size buffers dimensioned for the NX_CRYPTO_MAX_RSA_MODULUS_SIZE default of 4096 bits. A certificate carrying a larger modulus drives an out-of-bounds write past a file-scope static during ordinary certificate-chain verification.

It is reachable pre-authentication. The issuer used for the crypto operation is looked up in the remote, peer-supplied store before the trusted store, so the attacker supplies the oversized key themselves as an intermediate in the chain they present. It triggers on a TLS or DTLS client verifying a malicious server's chain, and on a server performing client-certificate authentication.
