Quoting form the OpenSSL upstream advisory: Missing CRL sanity check (CVE-2016-7052) ======================================== Severity: Moderate This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.0.2i, released on 22nd September 2016. A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception. OpenSSL 1.0.2i users should upgrade to 1.0.2j The issue was reported to OpenSSL on 22nd September 2016 by Bruce Stephens and Thomas Jakobi. The fix was developed by Matt Caswell of the OpenSSL development team. External References: https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20160926.txt
