CVE-2026-73260
Description
A flaw was found in Mongoose. The built-in Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate parser fails to verify that element lengths fit within the remaining certificate buffer, leading to an out-of-bounds memory read. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by presenting a specially crafted certificate during the TLS handshake, causing the application to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
