CVE-2025-32988
Unknown Unknown - Not Provided
BaseFortify

Publication date: 2025-07-10

Last updated on: 2026-04-20

Assigner: Red Hat, Inc.

Description
A flaw was found in GnuTLS. A double-free vulnerability exists in GnuTLS due to incorrect ownership handling in the export logic of Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries containing an otherName. If the type-id OID is invalid or malformed, GnuTLS will call asn1_delete_structure() on an ASN.1 node it does not own, leading to a double-free condition when the parent function or caller later attempts to free the same structure. This vulnerability can be triggered using only public GnuTLS APIs and may result in denial of service or memory corruption, depending on allocator behavior.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a double-free flaw in GnuTLS caused by incorrect handling of ownership in the export logic of Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries that contain an otherName. Specifically, if the type-id OID is invalid or malformed, GnuTLS mistakenly frees an ASN.1 node it does not own, leading to a double-free condition when the same structure is freed again later.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can be triggered using only public GnuTLS APIs and may lead to denial of service or memory corruption, depending on the behavior of the memory allocator.
