An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of RUSTSEC-2026-0331 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- libcrux-kem (crates.io): affected from 0.0.0-0; fixed in 0.0.10\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/RUSTSEC-2026-0331/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0331/index.md)","id":"RUSTSEC-2026-0331","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0331/index.md","name":"RUSTSEC-2026-0331","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust KEM library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by providing short input slices to key decoding functions in the libcrux-kem library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"The deserialization functions `X25519MlKem768Draft00PrivateKey::decode` `X25519MlKem768Draft00PublicKey::decode` and `XWingKemDraft06PublicKey::decode` would panic during an indexing operation when provided an input slice that is shorter than the length of the given key type, i.e. shorter than 2400 bytes in the case of the `X25519MlKem768Draft00` private key and shorter than 1184 bytes in the case of the `X25519MlKem768Draft` and `XWingKemDraft06` public keys.\n\n# Impact\n\nApplications decoding attacker provided slices into the above mentioned private and public key types could be made to panic.\n\n# Mitigation\n\nWith release of version `0.0.10` of `libcrux-kem` this bug has been fixed and the serialization functions return `InvalidPrivateKey` and `InvalidPublicKey` errors on invalid input buffer lengths.\n\nWe recommend users upgrade to `libcrux-kem` version `0.0.10`.","ecosystems":["crates.io"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Panic on Decoding Short Hybrid Keys","id":"RUSTSEC-2026-0331","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"advisory","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.0.10"],"introduced":["0.0.0-0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"libcrux-kem","purl":"pkg:cargo/libcrux-kem","source":"RUSTSEC-2026-0331"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-24","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"RustSec","prefix":"RUSTSEC"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by providing short input slices to key decoding functions in the libcrux-kem library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/RUSTSEC-2026-0331/"}
