Descriptions

The fmtstr function in crypto/bio/b_print.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g improperly calculates string lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (overflow and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long string, as demonstrated by a large amount of ASN.1 data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2842.

La función fmtstr en crypto/bio/b_print.c en OpenSSL 1.0.1 en versiones anteriores a 1.0.1s y 1.0.2 en versiones anteriores a 1.0.2g calcula incorrectamenteno longitudes de cadena, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento y lectura fuera de rango) o posiblemente causar otro impacto no especificado a través de una cadena larga de carácteres, como ha quedado demostrado por una gran cantidad de ASN.1 data, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2016-2842.

Several flaws were found in the way BIO_*printf functions were implemented in OpenSSL. Applications which passed large amounts of untrusted data through these functions could crash or potentially execute code with the permissions of the user running such an application.
