  "details" : [ "Issue summary: A specially crafted PKCS#7 or S/MIME signed message could\ntrigger a use-after-free during PKCS#7 signature verification.\nImpact summary: A use-after-free may result in process crashes, heap\ncorruption, or potentially remote code execution.\nWhen processing a PKCS#7 or S/MIME signed message, if the SignedData\ndigestAlgorithms field is present as an empty ASN.1 SET, OpenSSL may\nincorrectly free a caller-owned BIO during PKCS7_verify(). A subsequent\nuse of the BIO by the calling application results in a use-after-free\ncondition.\nIn the common case this occurs when the application later calls\nBIO_free() on the BIO originally passed to PKCS7_verify(). Depending\non allocator behavior and application-specific BIO usage patterns, this\nmay result in a crash or other memory corruption. In some application\ncontexts this may potentially be exploitable for remote code execution.\nApplications that process PKCS#7 or S/MIME signed messages using OpenSSL\nPKCS#7 APIs may be affected. Applications using the CMS APIs for this\nprocessing are not affected.\nThe FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.0 are not affected by this\nissue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.", "A flaw was found in OpenSSL. When processing a specially crafted PKCS#7 or S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) signed message, a heap use-after-free vulnerability in the PKCS7_verify() function can be triggered. This occurs if the SignedData digestAlgorithms field is present as an empty ASN.1 SET, leading to incorrect memory deallocation. A remote attacker could exploit this to cause application crashes, memory corruption, or potentially achieve remote code execution." ],
  "statement" : "This High severity heap use-after-free flaw in OpenSSL's PKCS7_verify() function can be triggered by processing a specially crafted PKCS#7 or S/MIME signed message. This could lead to application crashes, memory corruption, or potentially remote code execution, impacting services that handle such messages. The vulnerability specifically affects applications utilizing OpenSSL PKCS#7 APIs, while those using CMS APIs are not impacted.",
