    CVE-2022-4450 EPSS 29%

    Double free after calling PEM_read_bio_ex

    The function PEM_read_bio_ex() reads a PEM file from a BIO and parses and decodes the "name" (e.g. "CERTIFICATE"), any header data and the payload data. If the function succeeds then the "name_out", "header" and "data" arguments are populated with pointers to…

  • High 7.5

    Use-after-free following BIO_new_NDEF

    The public API function BIO_new_NDEF is a helper function used for streaming ASN.1 data via a BIO. It is primarily used internally to OpenSSL to support the SMIME, CMS and PKCS7 streaming capabilities, but may also be called directly by end user applications.…

  • High 7.4
    CVE-2023-0286 Public exploit EPSS 68%

    X.400 address type confusion in X.509 GeneralName

    There is a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. X.400 addresses were parsed as an ASN1_STRING but the public structure definition for GENERAL_NAME incorrectly specified the type of the x400Address fiel…

    CVE-2022-4304 Public exploit EPSS 24%

    Timing Oracle in RSA Decryption

    A timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption implementation which could be sufficient to recover a plaintext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a …
