CVE-2026-22796 is a type-confusion vulnerability in OpenSSL PKCS#7 signature verification. The legacy PKCS7_digest_from_attributes() function reads a message-digest attribute through an ASN1_TYPE union without first confirming that its type is V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING. A malformed signed PKCS#7 object can cause the function to interpret an incompatible union member as an octet string and dereference an invalid or NULL pointer. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0, 1.1.1, and 1.0.2 are affected. OpenSSL FIPS modules are not affected because PKCS#7 parsing is outside the FIPS module boundary.
