There is no information\ndisclosure as the over-read bytes are not written to output.\n\nThe vulnerable code path is only reached when processing partial blocks\n(when a previous call left an incomplete block and the current call provides\nfewer bytes than needed to complete it). Additionally, the input buffer\nmust be positioned at a page boundary with the following page unmapped.\nCFB mode is not used in TLS/DTLS protocols, which use CBC, GCM, CCM, or\nChaCha20-Poly1305 instead. For these reasons the issue was assessed as\nLow severity according to our Security Policy.\n\nOnly x86-64 systems with AVX-512 and VAES instruction support are affected.\nOther architectures and systems without VAES support use different code\npaths that are not affected.\n\nOpenSSL FIPS module in 3.6 version is affected by this issue.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/61f428a2fc6671ede184a19f71e6e495f0689621","https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20260407.txt"],"products":["openssl:openssl"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:59.047572785+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-28386","score":0.00497,"percentile":0.42612,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
