CVE-2025-9230 is an out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability in OpenSSL's implementation of RFC 3211 KEK unwrap used during CMS message decryption. An application attempting to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using password-based encryption support for PWRI can be driven into both out-of-bounds read and out-of-bounds write conditions by maliciously crafted input. The flaw is described as residing in the RFC 3211 KEK unwrap processing path and affects OpenSSL branches fixed in 3.5.4, 3.4.3, 3.3.5, 3.2.6, 3.0.18, and corresponding premium-support fixes for older branches. The OpenSSL FIPS modules for 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0 are not affected because the vulnerable CMS implementation is outside the FIPS module boundary.
