Description Tomas Hoger 2012-03-12 16:58:10 UTC 
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in OpenSSL's mime_param_cmp.  A specially crafted S/MIME input headers could cause an application using OpenSSL to crash during S/MIME message verification or decryption.

This is similar to the mime_hdr_cmp issue tracked via bug 798100.

Upstream commit:
  http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=22252
  and cn 22243 and 22244 for 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 branch commits

Fixed upstream in versions: 0.9.8u and 1.0.0h
