Descriptions

Integer underflow in the EVP_DecodeUpdate function in crypto/evp/encode.c in the base64-decoding implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8za, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0m, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted base64 data that triggers a buffer overflow.

Subdesbordamiento de enteros en la función EVP_DecodeUpdate en crypto/evp/encode.c en la implementación base64-decoding en OpenSSL anterior a 0.9.8za, 1.0.0 anterior a 1.0.0m, y 1.0.1 anterior a 1.0.1h permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de datos base64 manipulados que provocan un desbordamiento de buffer.

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 (such as a PEM file) 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.
