CVE-2026-42767 is a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in OpenSSL's CMP client handling of CRMF EncryptedValue data during processing of a CMP CertRepMessage. A malicious CMP server, or an attacker positioned as a man-in-the-middle, can send a crafted CMP response containing a CRMF EncryptedValue structure whose symmAlg field includes an algorithm OID but omits the required parameters field. When a vulnerable OpenSSL-based CMP client processes this malformed response, it dereferences a NULL pointer and crashes. The issue affects applications that process untrusted CMP/CRMF messages through vulnerable OpenSSL versions. The vulnerable code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary, and the FIPS modules in the referenced OpenSSL branches are not affected.
