CVE detail

CVE-2021-3449

An OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2 renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms extension (where it was present in the initial ClientHello), but includes a signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer dereference will result, leading to a crash and a denial of service attack. A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation enabled (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients are not impacted by this issue. All OpenSSL 1.1.1 versions are affected by this issue. Users of these versions should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1k. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not impacted by this issue. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1k (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1j).

  • OpenSSL 1.1.1k Patches Two High-Severity VulnerabilitiesSecurityWeek

    The OpenSSL Project on Thursday announced the release of version 1.1.1k, which patches two high-severity vulnerabilities, including one related to verifying a certificate chain and one that can lead to a server crash. The first security hole, tracked as CVE-2021-3450 , has been described as a “problem with verifying a certificate chain when using the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag.” The flaw was discovered by researchers at Akamai. “Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow certificates in the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic curve parameters was added as an additional strict check. An error in the implementation of this check meant that the result of a previous check to confirm that certificates in the chain are valid CA certificates was overwritten. This effectively bypasses the check that non-CA certificates must not be able to issue other certificates,” the OpenSSL Project explained in its advisory. The second vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2021-3449 and dis…
