Executive Summary

CVE-2026-34875 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Finite Field Diffie-Hellman (FFDH) public key export functionality within Mbed TLS. It occurs because the software improperly handles buffer sizes when exporting FFDH public keys, allowing an attacker to overwrite memory beyond the allocated buffer.

This happens due to insufficient input validation or boundary checks in the code responsible for serializing or exporting the public key data.

The vulnerability can lead to memory corruption, which might be exploited to cause crashes, execute arbitrary code, or compromise the security of cryptographic operations that rely on FFDH key exchanges.
