CVE-2025-24898: rust-openssl ssl::select_next_proto use after free
(updated )
ssl::select_next_proto can return a slice pointing into the server argument’s buffer but with a lifetime bound to the client argument. In situations where the server buffer’s lifetime is shorter than the client buffer’s, this can cause a use after free. This could cause the server to crash or to return arbitrary memory contents to the client.
