+Reference: boo#1208608
+Upstream: yes
+Affected: 5.9.8, 5.9.9
+Subject: [PATCH] libtls: Fix authentication bypass and expired pointer
+ dereference
+
+`public` is returned, but previously only if a trusted key was found.
+We obviously don't want to return untrusted keys.  However, since the
+reference is released after determining the key type, the returned
+object also doesn't have the correct refcount.
+
+So when the returned reference is released after verifying the TLS
+signature, the public key object is actually destroyed.  The certificate
+object then points to an expired pointer, which is dereferenced once it
+itself is destroyed after the authentication is complete.  Depending on
+whether the pointer is valid (i.e. points to memory allocated to the
+process) and what was allocated there after the public key was freed,
+this could result in a segmentation fault or even code execution.
+
+Fixes: 63fd718915b5 ("libtls: call create_public_enumerator() with key_type")
+Fixes: CVE-2023-26463
