CVE-2026-79900
Medium · 6.5
CWE-787 Oct 1, 2026
Heap overflow in KSL checksum initialization
boks_ksllogsd accepts a checksum algorithm name in the MD field of an authenticated KSL start message. Affected releases verify that OpenSSL recognizes the digest name but do not verify that the value fits in a fixed 16-byte checksum context field before copying it. An authenticated KSL client can supply an oversized, OpenSSL-recognized digest name and write beyond the end of the heap allocation.
CVE-2026-79901
Critical · 9.9
CWE-338 Oct 1, 2026
Predictable Active Directory service-account passwords in BoKS Manager
In deployments using BoKS keytab management, affected versions of boks_keytabmd generate Active Directory service-account passwords from a predictable pseudo-random sequence seeded with the current Unix timestamp. An attacker who knows the service principal and can estimate the password-change time can reproduce a limited candidate set and verify candidates offline.
