Application crash via unchecked signature length
Published Jan 20, 2026 · Updated Jan 20, 2026
Buffer over-read in PublicKey::verify in Trust Wallet Core before 4.4.0 allows remote attackers to crash applications via short signatures. The method passes the signature buffer to cryptographic routines without first ensuring that it contains the 64 bytes those routines read. No authentication or user interaction is required when a consuming application exposes verification to network input; exploitation causes a segmentation-fault service interruption.
