CVE-2026-32884

Описание

Botan is a C++ cryptography library. Prior to version 3.11.0, during processing of an X.509 certificate path using name constraints which restrict the set of allowable DNS names, if no subject alternative name is defined in the end-entity certificate Botan would check that the CN was allowed by the DNS name constraints, even though this check is technically not required by RFC 5280. However this check failed to account for the possibility of a mixed-case CN. Thus a certificate with CN=Sub.EVIL.COM and no subject alternative name would bypasses an excludedSubtrees constraint for evil.com because the comparison is case-sensitive. This issue has been patched in version 3.11.0.

A flaw was found in Botan, a C++ cryptography library. During the processing of X.509 certificate paths with DNS name constraints, the library incorrectly handles mixed-case Common Names (CN) in end-entity certificates that lack a Subject Alternative Name. A remote attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious certificate with a mixed-case CN to bypass excludedSubtrees constraints. This vulnerability could lead to a certificate validation bypass, allowing an attacker to present a certificate that should have been rejected.

Меры по смягчению последствий

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
