CVE-2015-0288: Null Pointer Dereference
First published: Mon Mar 16 2015(Updated: )
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. Upstream patch: <a href="https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=28a00bcd8e318da18031b2ac8778c64147cd54f9">https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=28a00bcd8e318da18031b2ac8778c64147cd54f9</a> Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank the OpenSSL project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Brian Carpenter as the original reporter.
