Issue summary: When using the low-level OCB API directly with AES-NI orother hardware-accelerated code paths, inputs whose length is not a multipleof 16 bytes can leave the final partial block unencrypted and unauthenticated.Impact summary: The trailing 1-15 bytes of a message may be exposed incleartext on encryption and are not covered by the authentication tag,allowing an attacker to read or tamper with those bytes without detection.The low-level OCB encrypt and decrypt routines in the hardware-acceleratedstream path process full 16-byte blocks but do not advance the input/outputpointers. The subsequent tail-handling code then operates on the originalbase pointers, effectively reprocessing the beginning of the buffer whileleaving the actual trailing bytes unprocessed. The authentication checksumalso excludes the true tail bytes.However, typical OpenSSL consumers using EVP are not affected because thehigher-level EVP and provider OCB implementations split inputs so that fullblocks and trailing partial blocks are processed in separate calls, avoidingthe problematic code path. Additionally, TLS does not use OCB ciphersuites.The vulnerability only affects applications that call the low-levelCRYPTO_ocb128_encrypt() or CRYPTO_ocb128_decrypt() functions directly withnon-block-aligned lengths in a single call on hardware-accelerated builds.For these reasons the issue was assessed as Low severity.The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affectedby this issue, as OCB mode is not a FIPS-approved algorithm.OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0 and 1.1.1 are vulnerable to this issue.OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not affected by this issue.

Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Data Freshness Timeline
(refreshed 14× in last 7d / 33× in last 30d)
Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.
Showing the most recent 96 of 200 refreshes on record for this CVE.
A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 4 repeat rows among the latest 100 are merged into the row they repeat. The 104 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.
