Summary
David Benjamin discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled X.400 address
processing. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to read
arbitrary memory contents or cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial
of service. (CVE-2023-0286)
Corey Bonnell discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled X.509 certificate
verification. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-4203)
Hubert Kario discovered that OpenSSL had a timing based side channel in the
OpenSSL RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to recover sensitive information. (CVE-2022-4304)
Dawei Wang discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled parsing certain PEM
data. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-4450)
Octavio Galland and Marcel Böhme discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly
handled streaming ASN.1 data. A remote attacker could use this issue to
cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-0215)
Marc Schönefeld discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled malformed PKCS7
data. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu
22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2023-0216)
Kurt Roeckx discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled validating certain
DSA public keys. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2023-0217)
Hubert Kario and Dmitry Belyavsky discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly
validated certain signatures. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2023-0401)

Vulnerabilities 8
-
High 7.5CVE-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 7.5
Invalid pointer dereference in d2i_PKCS7 functions
An invalid pointer dereference on read can be triggered when an application tries to load malformed PKCS7 data with the d2i_PKCS7(), d2i_PKCS7_bio() or d2i_PKCS7_fp() functions. The result of the dereference is an application crash which could lead to a denia…
-
High 7.5
NULL dereference validating DSA public key
An invalid pointer dereference on read can be triggered when an application tries to check a malformed DSA public key by the EVP_PKEY_public_check() function. This will most likely lead to an application crash. This function can be called on public keys suppl…

High 7.5
NULL dereference during PKCS7 data verification
A NULL pointer can be dereferenced when signatures are being verified on PKCS7 signed or signedAndEnveloped data. In case the hash algorithm used for the signature is known to the OpenSSL library but the implementation of the hash algorithm is not available t…

High 7.4
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…

Medium 5.9
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 …
-
Medium 4.9
X.509 Name Constraints Read Buffer Overflow
A read buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification, specifically in name constraint checking. Note that this occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to have signed the malicious certificate or for t…
