## What is CVE-2026-91767?

php_openssl_matches_wildcard_name() in ext/openssl/xp_ssl.c underflows the length argument passed to memchr() when a TLS server certificate presents a wildcard name whose literal characters are together longer than the hostname being verified. A malicious server presenting such a certificate makes the PHP client read up to SIZE_MAX bytes past the end of a heap allocation. The path is reachable from any default client stream, because verify_peer_name is enabled by default.

The record classifies CVE-2026-91767 under weakness class [CWE-122](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/122.html). Its CVSS v3 base vector states that the flaw is reachable from an adjacent network, needs no prior authentication, needs no user interaction, and has high impact on confidentiality. 1 affected-product entry is recorded, across 1 vendor, listed below. The identifier was first published 1 day ago.
