Description Srikanth Balasubramanian 2026-10-05 15:14:36 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

A remote, unauthenticated TLS client can make a server crash or call
through a freed pointer if its sni_callback assigns a different context to
SSLSocket.context (the documented way to select a certificate per server
name) and nothing else keeps the original ssl.SSLContext alive. Typical
cases are servers that create an SSLContext per connection or replace it
while connections are open; servers that wrap their listening socket with
it are not affected.


Mitigation: keep a reference to every SSLContext that sets sni_callback for
the lifetime of the server. TLS clients are not affected.
