CVE-2025-49601 Information

Description

In MbedTLS 3.3.0 before 3.6.4 mbedtls_lms_import_public_key does not check that the input buffer is at least 4 bytes before reading a 32-bit field allowing a possible out-of-bounds read on truncated input. Specifically an out-of-bounds read in mbedtls_lms_import_public_key allows context-dependent attackers to trigger a crash or limited adjacent-memory disclosure by supplying a truncated LMS (Leighton-Micali Signature) public-key buffer under four bytes. An LMS public key starts with a 4-byte type indicator. The function mbedtls_lms_import_public_key reads this type indicator before validating the size of its input.
