Descriptions

The PKCS#7 implementation 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 does not properly handle a lack of outer ContentInfo, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by leveraging an application that processes arbitrary PKCS#7 data and providing malformed data with ASN.1 encoding, related to crypto/pkcs7/pk7_doit.c and crypto/pkcs7/pk7_lib.c.

La implementación PKCS#7 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 no maneja correctamente la falta de ContentInfo exterior, lo que permite a atacantes causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero nulo y caída de aplicación) mediante el aprovechamiento de una aplicación que procesa datos PKCS#7 arbitrarios y la provisión de datos malformados con una codificación ASN.1, relacionado con crypto/pkcs7/pk7_doit.c y crypto/pkcs7/pk7_lib.c.

A NULL pointer dereference was found in the way OpenSSL handled certain PKCS#7 inputs. An attacker able to make an application using OpenSSL verify, decrypt, or parse a specially crafted PKCS#7 input could cause that application to crash. TLS/SSL clients and servers using OpenSSL were not affected by this flaw.
