CVE-2024-28960 [HIGH] CWE-653 mbedtls: Insecure handling of shared memory in PSA Crypto APIs
mbedtls: Insecure handling of shared memory in PSA Crypto APIs
An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS 2.18.0 through 2.28.x before 2.28.8 and 3.x before 3.6.0, and Mbed Crypto. The PSA Crypto API mishandles shared memory.
A flaw was found in Mbed TLS. When a function takes parameters in memory that is shared with another protection domain (process, partition, etc.) that is untrusted, the untrusted domain can access the shared memory during the execution of the function, which can compromise various security properties and lead to data modification or information disclosure.
Statement: This vulnerability affects products that use Mbed TLS to provide an implementation of the PSA Crypto API with domain isolation between API callers (“client application”) and the API implementation (“crypto se

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
