USN-8686-1

It was discovered that primitive decoders in openCryptoki produced integer underflows when the encoded length was zero. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger out-of-bounds reads. (CVE-2026-40253)

It was discovered that openCryptoki incorrectly handled symlinks. An attacker in the token-group could possibly use this issue to achieve privilege escalation or access sensitive information. (CVE-2026-23893)
