Doc Text:	An integer underflow flaw, leading to a buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenSSL decoded malformed Base64-encoded inputs. An attacker able to make an application using OpenSSL decode a specially crafted Base64-encoded input (such as a PEM file) could use this flaw to cause the application to crash. Note: this flaw is not exploitable via the TLS/SSL protocol because the data being transferred is not Base64-encoded.	Story Points:	---

Description Martin Prpič 2015-03-16 14:26:59 UTC

A vulnerability existed in previous versions of OpenSSL related to the processing of base64-encoded data. Any code path that reads base64 data from an untrusted source could be affected (such as the PEM processing routines). Maliciously crafted base 64 data could trigger a segmenation fault or memory corruption. This was addressed in previous versions of OpenSSL but has not been included in any security advisory until now.

This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.1, 1.0.0, and 0.9.8. This issue is fixed in versions: 1.0.1h, 1.0.0m, and 0.9.8za.

Comment 3 Tomas Hoger 2015-03-17 22:51:56 UTC

There is an integer underflow issue, which can result in the decoded bytes counter to have negative value (in the range of -1 to -16).  That value is subsequently used as memcpy() size argument, leading to attempt to copy close to SIZE_MAX bytes.  Hence program crashes before memcpy() completes.  However, memcpy() target buffer is overflown, so this has some code execution impact risk for e.g. multi-threaded programs.
