Descriptions
The X509_to_X509_REQ function in crypto/x509/x509_req.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8zf, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0r, 1.0.1 before 1.0.1m, and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2a might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an invalid certificate key.
La función X509_to_X509_REQ en crypto/x509/x509_req.c en OpenSSL anterior a 0.9.8zf, 1.0.0 anterior a 1.0.0r, 1.0.1 anterior a 1.0.1m, y 1.0.2 anterior a 1.0.2a podría permitir a atacantes causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero nulo y caída de aplicación) a través de una clave de certificado inválida.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in OpenSSL's X.509 certificate handling implementation. A specially crafted X.509 certificate could cause an application using OpenSSL to crash if the application attempted to convert the certificate to a certificate request.
OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security protocols, as well as a full-strength, general purpose cryptography library. An invalid pointer use flaw was found in OpenSSL's ASN1_TYPE_cmp() function. A remote attacker could crash a TLS/SSL client or server using OpenSSL via a specially crafted X.509 certificate when the attacker-supplied certificate was verified by the application. An integer underflow flaw, leading to a buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenSSL decoded malformed Base64-encoded inputs. An attacker able to make an application using OpenSSL decode a specially crafted Base64-encoded input could use this flaw to cause the application to crash. Note: this flaw is not exploitable via the TLS/SSL protocol because the data being transferred is not Base64-encoded.
