CVE-2015-1792 OpenSSL: CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
Last modified: 2016-03-04 05:58:32 EST
The following was reported by OpenSSL upstream: When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using the CMS code. This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8. OpenSSL 1.0.2 users should upgrade to 1.0.2b OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1n OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0s OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zg This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 31st March 2015 by Johannes Bauer. The fix was developed by Dr. Stephen Henson of the OpenSSL development team. Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank the OpenSSL project for reporting this issue.
