Описание

Issue summary: If an application using the SSL_CIPHER_find() function in a QUIC protocol client or server receives an unknown cipher suite from the peer, a NULL dereference occurs. Impact summary: A NULL pointer dereference leads to abnormal termination of the running process causing Denial of Service. Some applications call SSL_CIPHER_find() from the client_hello_cb callback on the cipher ID received from the peer. If this is done with an SSL object implementing the QUIC protocol, NULL pointer dereference will happen if the examined cipher ID is unknown or unsupported. As it is not very common to call this function in applications using the QUIC protocol and the worst outcome is Denial of Service, the issue was assessed as Low severity. The vulnerable code was introduced in the 3.2 version with the addition of the QUIC protocol support. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4 and 3.3 are not affected by this issue, as the QUIC implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4 and 3.3 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL 3.0, 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are not affected by this issue.

A flaw was found in openssl. A remote attacker could trigger a NULL pointer dereference by sending an unknown or unsupported cipher ID during the client hello callback in applications using the QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) protocol. This vulnerability, occurring when the SSL_CIPHER_find() function is called in this specific context, leads to an abnormal termination of the running process, causing a Denial of Service (DoS).

Отчет

This vulnerability is rated Low for Red Hat. The NULL pointer dereference in the SSL_CIPHER_find() function, affecting OpenSSL versions 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6, occurs only when applications utilizing the QUIC protocol uncommonly invoke this function from the client_hello_cb callback with an unknown cipher ID. This specific usage pattern and the resulting Denial of Service limit the overall impact in the Red Hat context.

Меры по смягчению последствий

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
