Description Martin Prpič 2015-03-16 11:01:44 EDT
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in OpenSSL's X509_to_X509_REQ() function. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an OpenSSL server with an invalid certificate key. Note that this function is rarely used in practice.

This issue affects OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0, and 0.9.8. This issue is fixed in versions: 1.0.2a, 1.0.1m, 1.0.0r, and 0.9.8zf.
