Issue summary: During processing of a crafted CMS EnvelopedData message
with KeyAgreeRecipientInfo a NULL pointer dereference can happen.
Impact summary: Applications that process attacker-controlled CMS data may
crash before authentication or cryptographic operations occur resulting in
Denial of Service.
When a CMS EnvelopedData message that uses KeyAgreeRecipientInfo is
processed, the optional parameters field of KeyEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier
is examined without checking for its presence. This results in a NULL
pointer dereference if the field is missing.
Applications and services that call CMS_decrypt() on untrusted input
(e.g., S/MIME processing or CMS-based protocols) are vulnerable.
The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this
issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
A flaw was found in OpenSSL. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) EnvelopedData message with KeyAgreeRecipientInfo. This vulnerability arises because the software attempts to process an optional field without verifying its existence, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for applications that handle untrusted CMS data.
Отчет
This Low impact flaw affects applications processing Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) data, specifically crafted CMS EnvelopedData messages with KeyAgreeRecipientInfo. A NULL pointer dereference can occur if the optional parameters field of KeyEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier is missing, leading to a Denial of Service. Red Hat products are vulnerable if they call CMS_decrypt() or PKCS7_decrypt() on untrusted input, such as in S/MIME processing or CMS-based protocols.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted CMS EnvelopedData messages with KeyAgreeRecipientInfo. Restrict network access to services that process CMS data from untrusted sources. If possible, configure applications to only accept CMS data from trusted origins. This operational control helps reduce exposure to the vulnerability.
