CVE-2015-0289

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.

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.
