CPE2026-051 – Remediation for OpenSSL Vulnerability Affecting IRIS XMailFetcher – 23 March 2026
Description:
OpenSSL has identified a vulnerability in which a malicious user can supply a Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) message with an oversized Initialization Vector (IV). OpenSSL copies this IV into a fixed‑size stack buffer without validating its length, resulting in a stack buffer overflow. This vulnerability affects OpenSSL’s parsing of CMS AuthEnvelopedData and EnvelopedData structures that use Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) ciphers such as AES‑GCM.
The potential impacts of this vulnerability include:
• Denial of Service (DoS) due to application crashes
• Potential remote code execution, depending on platform mitigations
• No valid key material required by the attacker, as the stack buffer overflow occurs before authentication
IRIS has taken this vulnerability seriously and confirmed that one of its products uses OpenSSL. The affected product is IRIS XMailFetcher.
Affected Versions:
