  "details" : [ "Issue summary: Processing a malformed PKCS#12 file can trigger a NULL pointer\ndereference in the PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex() function.\nImpact summary: A NULL pointer dereference can trigger a crash which leads to\nDenial of Service for an application processing PKCS#12 files.\nThe PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex() function does not check whether the oct\nparameter is NULL before dereferencing it. When called from\nPKCS12_unpack_p7encdata() with a malformed PKCS#12 file, this parameter can\nbe NULL, causing a crash. The vulnerability is limited to Denial of Service\nand cannot be escalated to achieve code execution or memory disclosure.\nExploiting this issue requires an attacker to provide a malformed PKCS#12 file\nto an application that processes it. For that reason the issue was assessed as\nLow severity according to our Security Policy.\nThe FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue,\nas the PKCS#12 implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.\nOpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0, 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are vulnerable to this issue.", "A flaw was found in OpenSSL. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by providing a specially crafted, malformed PKCS#12 file to an application that processes it. The flaw occurs due to a NULL pointer dereference in the PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex() function when handling the malformed file, leading to an application crash." ],
  "statement" : "This vulnerability is rated Low for Red Hat because it requires an application to process a specially crafted, malformed PKCS#12 file, leading to a Denial of Service. The vulnerability is limited to a crash and cannot be escalated to achieve code execution or memory disclosure. Red Hat FIPS modules are not affected as the PKCS#12 implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.",
