Vulnerability intelligence
CVE-2026-70368 and is rated Medium severity with a CVSS score of 6.5. It is not in the current CISA KEV record we collected. That does not prove exploitation has not occurred.
Release Notes
A stack-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the "s_vlog" function of stunnel, when handling oversized log messages via "vsnprintf". A remote attacker with network access to a stunnel service can send protocol inputs that trigger a log message longer than 1024 bytes, leading to an out-of-bounds stack read and a potential crash.
In certain corner cases, the same vulnerability could be used to replace a series of trailing "\n" characters with "\0".
