Descriptions

The X509_verify_cert function in crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1n, 1.0.1o, 1.0.2b, and 1.0.2c does not properly process X.509 Basic Constraints cA values during identification of alternative certificate chains, which allows remote attackers to spoof a Certification Authority role and trigger unintended certificate verifications via a valid leaf certificate.

La función de verificación de certificado X509 en crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c en OpenSSL 1.0.1n, 1.0.1o, 1.0.2b, y 1.0.2c no procesa correctamente los valores cA de restricción básica del X.509 durante la identificación de cadenas de certificado alternativo, lo que permite a atacantes remotos suplantar una función de autoridad de certificación y propiciar verificaciones de certificado involuntarias a través de un leaf certificate válido.
