CVE-2026-35189 is a resource-exhaustion vulnerability in OpenSSL X.509 extension caching. A certificate containing numerous nameRelativeToCRLIssuer CRL distribution points can trigger disproportionate heap growth when OpenSSL processes and retains CRL distribution-point extension data. A certificate within the approximately 100 KiB peer certificate-size limit can cause allocation of several hundred MiB of resident memory during a normal TLS handshake. The fix defers processing of CRL distribution-point extensions until their processed values are required for CRL processing, avoiding long-lived disproportionate allocations.
