Summary

[none]

Details

A heap use-after-free exists in wolfSSL's TLS 1.3 post-quantum cryptography (PQC) hybrid KeyShare processing. In the error handling path of TLSXKeyShareProcessPqcHybridClient() in src/tls.c, the inner function TLSXKeyShareProcessPqcClientex() frees a KyberKey object upon encountering an error. The caller then invokes TLSXKeyShare_FreeAll(), which attempts to call ForceZero() on the already-freed KyberKey, resulting in writes of zero bytes over freed heap memory.
