Heap Out-of-Bounds Write in DecodeObjectId() in wolfSSL
02 Description
Heap Out-of-Bounds Write in DecodeObjectId() in wolfSSL
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 0.28% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 20.6% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 2.3 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation
Fix Bug 1: Add a bounds check requiring at least 2 output slots before writing the first OID arc split (y == 0 case). Fix Bug 2: Change callers to pass the element count (MAX_OID_SZ) instead of sizeof(decOid) as the output buffer size parameter.
