The\ncaller is responsible for freeing those buffers. It is possible to construct a\nPEM file that results in 0 bytes of payload data. In this case PEM_read_bio_ex()\nwill return a failure code but will populate the header argument with a pointer\nto a buffer that has already been freed. If the caller also frees this buffer\nthen a double free will occur. This will most likely lead to a crash. This\ncould be exploited by an attacker who has the ability to supply malicious PEM\nfiles for parsing to achieve a denial of service attack.\n\nThe functions PEM_read_bio() and PEM_read() are simple wrappers around\nPEM_read_bio_ex() and therefore these functions are also directly affected.\n\nThese functions are also called indirectly by a number of other OpenSSL\nfunctions including PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio_ex() and\nSSL_CTX_use_serverinfo_file() which are also vulnerable. Some OpenSSL internal\nuses of these functions are not vulnerable because the caller does not free the\nheader argument if PEM_read_bio_ex() returns a failure code. These locations\ninclude the PEM_read_bio_TYPE() functions as well as the decoders introduced in\nOpenSSL 3.0.\n\nThe OpenSSL asn1parse command line application is also impacted by this issue.\n\n\n" } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "double-free" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "OpenSSL", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "OpenSSL", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "<", "version_name": "3.0.0", "version_value": "3.0.8" }, { "version_affected": "<", "version_name": "1.1.1", "version_value": "1.1.1t" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230207.txt", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230207.txt" }, { "url": "https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=63bcf189be73a9cc1264059bed6f57974be74a83", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=63bcf189be73a9cc1264059bed6f57974be74a83" }, { "url": "https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=bbcf509bd046b34cca19c766bbddc31683d0858b", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=bbcf509bd046b34cca19c766bbddc31683d0858b" }, { "url": "https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202402-08", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202402-08" } ] }, "generator": { "engine": "Vulnogram 0.1.0-dev" }, "source": { "discovery": "UNKNOWN" }, "credits": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "CarpetFuzz" }, { "lang": "en", "value": "Dawei Wang" }, { "lang": "en", "value": "Marc Sch\u00f6nefeld" }, { "lang": "en", "value": "Kurt Roeckx" }, { "lang": "en", "value": "Matt Caswell" } ] }
