A validation flaw has been discovered in the python cryptography package. This missing validation allows an attacker to provide a public key point P from a small-order subgroup. This can lead to security issues in various situations, such as the most commonly used signature verification (ECDSA) and shared key negotiation (ECDH). When the victim computes the shared secret as S = [victim_private_key]P via ECDH, this leaks information about victim_private_key mod (small_subgroup_order). For curves with cofactor > 1, this reveals the least significant bits of the private key. When these weak public keys are used in ECDSA , it's easy to forge signatures on the small subgroup. Only SECT curves are impacted by this.
7.4 (High)
Vendor Fix
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:7295
Workaround
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
A flaw was found in the `cryptography` library. This vulnerability occurs because DNS (Domain Name System) name constraints were not properly validated against the "peer name" during certificate validation, only against Subject Alternative Names (SANs) within child certificates. This oversight could allow a malicious actor to bypass security restrictions, enabling a certificate for a specific domain to be validated against a broader wildcard certificate, even when an exclusion for that specific domain exists. This could lead to an attacker impersonating a legitimate server or service.
CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

Workaround
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
A flaw was found in the cryptography library. This vulnerability occurs when a non-contiguous buffer is passed to certain application programming interfaces (APIs) that accept Python buffers, such as Hash.update(). A remote attacker could exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, potentially leading to a denial of service.
