CVE-2022-0778 – Infinite loop in BN_mod_sqrt() reachable when parsing certificates
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-0778
15 Mar 2022 — The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop forever for non-prime moduli. Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point encoded in compressed form. It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has invalid explicit curve parameters. Since certificate parsing happens prior to verification of ... • https://packetstorm.news/files/id/167344 • CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') •

CVE-2021-4160 – BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on MIPS
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-4160
28 Jan 2022 — There is a carry propagation bug in the MIPS32 and MIPS64 squaring procedure. Many EC algorithms are affected, including some of the TLS 1.3 default curves. Impact was not analyzed in detail, because the pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely and include reusing private keys. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very difficult) because ... • https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/pdf/ssa-637483.pdf •

CVE-2021-4044 – Invalid handling of X509_verify_cert() internal errors in libssl
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-4044
14 Dec 2021 — Internally libssl in OpenSSL calls X509_verify_cert() on the client side to verify a certificate supplied by a server. That function may return a negative return value to indicate an internal error (for example out of memory). Such a negative return value is mishandled by OpenSSL and will cause an IO function (such as SSL_connect() or SSL_do_handshake()) to not indicate success and a subsequent call to SSL_get_error() to return the value SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY. This return value is only supposed to be ... • https://github.com/phirojshah/CVE-2021-4044 • CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') •

18 Oct 2007 — Unspecified vulnerability in OpenSSL before A.00.09.07l on HP-UX B.11.11, B.11.23, and B.11.31 allows local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors. Vulnerabilidad sin especificar en el OpenSSL anterior al A.00.09.07l en el HP-UX B.11.11, B.11.23 y B.11.31 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio a través de vectores sin especificar. • http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01203958 •
