It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-53159 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openssl (crates.io): affected from 0.0.0-0; fixed in 0.10.55\n- openssl (crates.io): affected from 0.10.0; fixed in 0.10.55\n- openssl (crates.io): affected from 0.10.0; fixed in 0.10.55\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53159/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53159/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-53159","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53159/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-53159","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53159","GHSA-xcf7-rvmh-g6q4","RUSTSEC-2023-0044","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-53159"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust OpenSSL bindings","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An out-of-bounds read in the Rust openssl crate allows attackers to cause denial of service or disclose memory contents via crafted input.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openssl","vendor":"sfackler"}],"cvss":{"score":4.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-126","name":"Buffer Over-read"}],"description":"The openssl crate before 0.10.55 for Rust allows an out-of-bounds read via an empty string to X509VerifyParamRef::set_host.","ecosystems":["crates.io"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"`openssl` `X509VerifyParamRef::set_host` buffer over-read","id":"CVE-2023-53159","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"sequoia-openpgp vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access leading to panic","id":"CVE-2023-53160"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.10.55"],"introduced":["0.0.0-0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openssl","purl":"pkg:cargo/openssl","source":"RUSTSEC-2023-0044"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.10.55"],"introduced":["0.10.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openssl","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-xcf7-rvmh-g6q4"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.10.55"],"introduced":["0.10.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openssl","purl":"pkg:cargo/openssl","source":"GHSA-xcf7-rvmh-g6q4"}],"prev":{"headline":"gix-transport code execution vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-53158"},"products":["openssl"],"published":"2025-07-28","related":[{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"rust-openssl: Potential out-of-bounds write in `CipherCtxRef::cipher_update_inplace` for AES-KW-PAD ciphers","id":"CVE-2026-45784","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"RustSec","prefix":"RUSTSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-28","vendors":["sfackler"]},"summary":"An out-of-bounds read in the Rust openssl crate allows attackers to cause denial of service or disclose memory contents via crafted input.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-53159/"}
