CVE-2026-3230 Details
Description
Missing required cryptographic step in the TLS 1.3 client HelloRetryRequest handshake logic in wolfSSL could lead to a compromise in the confidentiality of TLS-protected communications via a crafted HelloRetryRequest followed by a ServerHello message that omits the required key_share extension, resulting in derivation of predictable traffic secrets from (EC)DHE shared secret. This issue does not affect the client's authentication of the server during TLS handshakes.
A vulnerability in wolfSSL's TLS 1.3 client HelloRetryRequest handshake logic could compromise the confidentiality of TLS-protected communications. This issue arises from a missing cryptographic step that allows a crafted HelloRetryRequest, followed by a ServerHello message that omits the necessary key_share extension, to be exploited. As a result, predictable traffic secrets can be derived from the (EC)DHE shared secret. However, this vulnerability does not impact the client's authentication of the server during TLS handshakes.
