CVE-2026-45447 is a use-after-free vulnerability in OpenSSL PKCS#7 signature verification. When PKCS7_verify() processes a specially crafted PKCS#7 or S/MIME signed message whose SignedData digestAlgorithms field is an empty ASN.1 SET, it can incorrectly free a caller-owned BIO. Subsequent use of that BIO by the calling application, including a later free operation, causes a use-after-free condition. Applications using OpenSSL CMS APIs rather than the PKCS#7 APIs for this processing are not affected. The vulnerable logic is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
