What the CVE records say
CVE-2026-41677 — rust-openssl provides OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language. From 0.9.0 to before 0.10.78, the *_from_pem_callback APIs did not validate the length returned by the user's callback. A password callback that returns a value larger than the buffer it was given can cause some versions of OpenSSL to over-read this buffer. OpenSSL 3.x is not affected by this. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.78.
Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to disclosure of sensitive information or Denial of Service (DoS).
