5.0 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Description

OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 does not properly track the number of characters in certain ASN.1 inputs, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an SSL client certificate that causes OpenSSL to read past the end of a buffer when the long form is used.

Affected configurations

• openssl openssl 0.9.6 • openssl openssl 0.9.7
