CVE-2026-118372 Details
Description
LibreSSL ocspcheck through 4.4.0 contains a CRLF injection vulnerability that allows attackers to inject HTTP headers by embedding CR/LF sequences in a certificate's AIA OCSP URI path. Because url2host() copies the path without rejecting control characters and http_open() places it in the POST request line, attackers can inject headers or split OCSP requests sent to the responder host.
A CRLF injection vulnerability has been identified in LibreSSL's ocspcheck tool, affecting versions through 4.4.0. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject HTTP headers by embedding CR/LF sequences in a certificate's AIA OCSP URI path. The issue arises because the url2host() function copies the path without rejecting control characters, and the http_open() function places it in the POST request line. As a result, attackers can inject headers or split OCSP requests sent to the responder host.
Users can upgrade to LibreSSL 4.4.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
