Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3602)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the email address field inside  X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger a 4-byte buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that either a CA signs the malicious certificate or for the application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer.

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the email address field length inside a X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger a buffer overflow and crash the application.
