CVE-2026-42764

Issue summary: Receiving a QUIC initial packet with an invalid token may trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the OpenSSL QUIC server with address validation disabled.

Impact summary: NULL pointer dereference typically causes abnormal termination of the affected QUIC server process and a Denial of Service.

If the address validation is disabled in the OpenSSL QUIC server implementation, an attacker can crash the server by sending an initial packet with an invalid or expired token.

By default, the client address validation is enabled in the OpenSSL QUIC server implementation, which makes the default configuration not vulnerable to this issue. However if the SSL_LISTENER_FLAG_NO_VALIDATE is used with the SSL_new_listener() call, the address validation is disabled making the vulnerable code reachable.

The FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.

Update to 3.5.0:

• Changes:

  • Default encryption cipher for the req, cms, and smime applications changed from des-ede3-cbc to aes-256-cbc.
  • The default TLS supported groups list has been changed to include and prefer hybrid PQC KEM groups. Some practically unused groups were removed from the default list.
  • The default TLS keyshares have been changed to offer X25519MLKEM768 and and X25519.
  • All BIO_meth_get_*() functions were deprecated.

  • New features:

    • Support for server side QUIC (RFC 9000)
    • Support for 3rd party QUIC stacks including 0-RTT support
    • Support for PQC algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA)
    • A new configuration option no-tls-deprecated-ec to disable support for TLS groups deprecated in RFC8422
    • A new configuration option enable-fips-jitter to make the FIPS provider to use the JITTER seed source
    • Support for central key generation in CMP
    • Support added for opaque symmetric key objects (EVP_SKEY)
    • Support for multiple TLS keyshares and improved TLS key establishment group configurability
    • API support for pipelining in provided cipher algorithms

Changes between 3.3.0 and 3.4.0:

• Changes:

  • Deprecation of TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_* functions and addition of replacement TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_* functions with improved semantics
  • The X25519 and X448 key exchange implementation in the FIPS provider is unapproved and has fips=no property.
  • SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256 implementations have no default digest length anymore. That means these algorithms cannot be used with EVP_DigestFinal/_ex() unless the xoflen param is set before.
  • Setting config_diagnostics=1 in the config file will cause errors to be returned from SSL_CTX_new() and SSL_CTX_new_ex() if there is an error in the ssl module configuration.
  • An empty renegotiate extension will be used in TLS client hellos instead of the empty renegotiation SCSV, for all connections with a minimum TLS version > 1.0.
  • Deprecation of SSL_SESSION_get_time(), SSL_SESSION_set_time() and SSL_CTX_flush_sessions() functions in favor of their respective _ex functions which are Y2038-safe on platforms with Y2038-safe time_t

• New features:

  • Support for directly fetched composite signature algorithms such as RSA-SHA2-256 including new API functions
  • FIPS indicators support in the FIPS provider and various updates of the FIPS provider required for future FIPS 140-3 validations -…
