CVE-2026-41565
CryptX versions before 0.088_001 for Perl have a stack buffer overflow in four AEAD decrypt_verify helpers.
The gcm_decrypt_verify, ccm_decrypt_verify, chacha20poly1305_decrypt_verify and eax_decrypt_verify XS routines copied the caller-supplied authentication tag into a fixed 144-byte stack buffer (MAXBLOCKSIZE) without checking the supplied length. A longer tag overwrites the stack past the buffer. Version 0.088 added the clamp to gcm_decrypt_verify, and 0.088_001 added it to the other three.
Any caller of an affected helper that forwards an attacker-controlled tag longer than the buffer can trigger the overflow.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.80%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 55
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation65 %
Buffer overflow en rutinas XS accesibles remotamente (AV:N, PR:N). Causa DoS por corrupción de stack y potencialmente escalada de privilegios (CWE-121). Confianza moderada por falta de detalles de explotabilidad práctica.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
