  "details" : [ "Issue summary: A type confusion vulnerability exists in the TimeStamp Response\nverification code where an ASN1_TYPE union member is accessed without first\nvalidating the type, causing an invalid or NULL pointer dereference when\nprocessing a malformed TimeStamp Response file.\nImpact summary: An application calling TS_RESP_verify_response() with a\nmalformed TimeStamp Response can be caused to dereference an invalid or\nNULL pointer when reading, resulting in a Denial of Service.\nThe functions ossl_ess_get_signing_cert() and ossl_ess_get_signing_cert_v2()\naccess the signing cert attribute value without validating its type.\nWhen the type is not V_ASN1_SEQUENCE, this results in accessing invalid memory\nthrough the ASN1_TYPE union, causing a crash.\nExploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to provide a malformed\nTimeStamp Response to an application that verifies timestamp responses. The\nTimeStamp protocol (RFC 3161) is not widely used and the impact of the\nexploit is just a Denial of Service. For these reasons the issue was\nassessed as Low severity.\nThe FIPS modules in 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue,\nas the TimeStamp Response implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module\nboundary.\nOpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0 and 1.1.1 are vulnerable to this issue.\nOpenSSL 1.0.2 is not affected by this issue.", "A flaw was found in OpenSSL. A type confusion vulnerability exists in the TimeStamp Response verification code, where an ASN1_TYPE union member is accessed without proper type validation. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a malformed TimeStamp Response to an application that verifies timestamp responses. This can lead to an invalid or NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) due to an application crash." ],
  "statement" : "This vulnerability is rated Low for Red Hat products. A type confusion flaw in the TimeStamp Response verification code can lead to a Denial of Service when processing a specially crafted TimeStamp Response. Exploitation requires an application to call `TS_RESP_verify_response()` with a malformed response, and the TimeStamp protocol (RFC 3161) is not widely used. Red Hat FIPS modules are not affected as the TimeStamp Response implementation is outside the FIPS module boundary.",
