OpenSSL has disclosed a high-severity vulnerability in its Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) implementation. The flaw could let a remote peer read unintended plaintext heap memory during handshake data transmission, or cause a denial-of-service condition. Tracked as CVE-2026-84782, it stems from an out-of-bounds read in how DTLS handshake message retransmissions are handled.
