Degraded secret zeroization capabilities

GHSA-v27v-f96q-qhjq

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (vodozemac 0.11.2), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

In version 0.11.1 and earlier of vodozemac, the Olm root key ratchet did not zeroize its HKDF output after use. Each ratchet step left a copy of the new root key and chain key in freed heap memory.

Impact An attacker who can read the process's memory, for example through a separate memory-disclosure bug, a core dump, or swapped-out pages, may recover root keys and chain keys from earlier ratchet steps. A leaked chain key allows decrypting the messages in that chain, weakening Olm's forward secrecy for affected sessions.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-v27v-f96q-qhjq

Advisory: Degraded secret zeroization capabilities
IDs: GHSA-v27v-f96q-qhjq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/rustsec-2026-0451 (revision 1, source checked 7 Nov 2026, 06:30 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: vodozemac 0.11.2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- crates.io vodozemac: affected >= 0.0.0-0, < 0.11.2; fixed in 0.11.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- crates.io vodozemac: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on vodozemac.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/RUSTSEC-2026-0451 (OSV record RUSTSEC-2026-0451 lists affected ranges: crates.io vodozemac >=0.0.0-0 <0.11.2 (fixed))

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
