Abnormal termination of an application can a cause a denial of service.
Applications performing certificate name checks (e.g., TLS clients checking server certificates) may attempt to read an invalid memory address when comparing the expected name with an otherName subject alternative name of an X.509 certificate. This may result in an exception that terminates the application program.
Note that basic certificate chain validation (signatures, dates, ...) is not affected, the denial of service can occur only when the application also specifies an expected DNS name, Email address or IP address.
TLS servers rarely solicit client certificates, and even when they do, they generally don't perform a name check against a "reference identifier" (expected identity), but rather extract the presented identity after checking the certificate chain. So TLS servers are generally not affected and the severity of the issue is Moderate.
The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are also not affected by this issue.
OpenSSL 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are vulnerable to this issue.
OpenSSL 3.3 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.3.2

OpenSSL 3.0 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.0.15
Issue summary: Use of the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes.
Impact summary: Out of bound memory writes can lead to an application crash or even a possibility of a remote code execution, however, in all the protocols involving Elliptic Curve Cryptography that we're aware of, either only "named curves" are supported, or, if explicit curve parameters are supported, they specify an X9.62 encoding of binary (GF(2^m)) curves that can't represent problematic input values. Thus the likelihood of existence of a vulnerable application is low.
In particular, the X9.62 encoding is used for ECC keys in X.509 certificates, so problematic inputs cannot occur in the context of processing X.509 certificates. Any problematic use-cases would have to be using an "exotic" curve encoding.
The affected APIs include: ECGROUPnewcurveGF2m(), ECGROUPnewfromparams(), and various supporting BNGF2m() functions.
Applications working with "exotic" explicit binary (GF(2^m)) curve parameters, that make it possible to represent invalid field polynomials with a zero constant term, via the above or similar APIs, may terminate abruptly as a result of reading or writing outside of array bounds. Remote code execution cannot easily be ruled out.
The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.
Issue summary: A timing side-channel which could potentially allow recovering the private key exists in the ECDSA signature computation.
Impact summary: A timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations could allow recovering the private key by an attacker. However, measuring the timing would require either local access to the signing application or a very fast network connection with low latency.
There is a timing signal of around 300 nanoseconds when the top word of the inverted ECDSA nonce value is zero. This can happen with significant probability only for some of the supported elliptic curves. In particular the NIST P-521 curve is affected. To be able to measure this leak, the attacker process must either be located in the same physical computer or must have a very fast network connection with low latency. For that reason the severity of this vulnerability is Low.
The FIPS modules in 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are affected by this issue.
Issue summary: Clients using RFC7250 Raw Public Keys (RPKs) to authenticate a server may fail to notice that the server was not authenticated, because handshakes don't abort as expected when the SSLVERIFYPEER verification mode is set.
Impact summary: TLS and DTLS connections using raw public keys may be vulnerable to man-in-middle attacks when server authentication failure is not detected by clients.
RPKs are disabled by default in both TLS clients and TLS servers. The issue only arises when TLS clients explicitly enable RPK use by the server, and the server, likewise, enables sending of an RPK instead of an X.509 certificate chain. The affected clients are those that then rely on the handshake to fail when the server's RPK fails to match one of the expected public keys, by setting the verification mode to SSLVERIFYPEER.
Clients that enable server-side raw public keys can still find out that raw public key verification failed by calling SSLgetverifyresult(), and those that do, and take appropriate action, are not affected. This issue was introduced in the initial implementation of RPK support in OpenSSL 3.2.
The FIPS modules in 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrmexpandpolicies in net/xfrm/xfrmpolicy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice.
A flaw was found in OpenSSL. The issue in CVE-2022-1292 did not find other places in the crehash script where it possibly passed the file names of certificates being hashed to a command executed through the shell. Some operating systems distribute this script in a manner where it is automatically executed. On these operating systems, this flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script.
A use after free can have a range of potential consequences such as the corruption of valid data, crashes or execution of arbitrary code. However, only applications that directly call the SSLfreebuffers function are affected by this issue. Applications that do not call this function are not vulnerable. Our investigations indicate that this function is rarely used by applications.
The SSLfreebuffers function is used to free the internal OpenSSL buffer used when processing an incoming record from the network. The call is only expected to succeed if the buffer is not currently in use. However, two scenarios have been identified where the buffer is freed even when still in use.
The first scenario occurs where a record header has been received from the network and processed by OpenSSL, but the full record body has not yet arrived. In this case calling SSLfreebuffers will succeed even though a record has only been partially processed and the buffer is still in use.
The second scenario occurs where a full record containing application data has been received and processed by OpenSSL but the application has only read part of this data. Again a call to SSLfreebuffers will succeed even though the buffer is still in use.
While these scenarios could occur accidentally during normal operation a malicious attacker could attempt to engineer a stituation where this occurs. We are not aware of this issue being actively exploited.
The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 is also not affected by this issue.
OpenSSL 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 and 1.1.1 are vulnerable to this issue.
OpenSSL 3.3 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.3.1 once it is released.
OpenSSL 3.2 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.2.2 once it is released.
OpenSSL 3.1 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.1.6 once it is released.
OpenSSL 3.0 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.0.14 once it is released.
OpenSSL 1.1.1 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1y once it is released (premium support customers only).
Due to the low severity of this issue we are not issuing new releases of OpenSSL at this time. The fix will be included in the next releases when they become available. The fix is also available in commit e5093133c3 (for 3.3), commit c88c3de510 (for 3.2), commit 704f725b96 (for 3.1) and commit b3f0eb0a29 (for 3.0) in the OpenSSL git repository. It is available to premium support customers in commit f7a045f314 (for 1.1.1).
This issue was reported on 10th April 2024 by William Ahern (Akamai). The fix was developed by Matt Caswell and Watson Ladd (Akamai).
Applications that use the function EVPPKEYpubliccheck() to check RSA public keys may experience long delays. Where the key that is being checked has been obtained from an untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service. An application that calls EVPPKEYpubliccheck() and supplies an RSA key obtained from an untrusted source could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.
The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not affected by this issue. The OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this issue. OpenSSL versions 3.0.0 to 3.0.12, 3.1.0 to 3.1.4 and 3.2.0 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL versions 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are not affected by this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-26735 to this issue.
Upstream advisory: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2024040359-CVE-2024-26735-462f@gregkh/T
drm/amdgpu: Fix possible NULL dereference in amdgpurasqueryerrorstatushelper()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arp: Prevent overflow in arpreqget().
syzkaller reported an overflown write in arpreqget(). [0]
When ioctl(SIOCGARP) is issued, arpreqget() looks up an neighbour entry and copies neigh->ha to struct arpreq.arpha.sadata.
The arpha here is struct sockaddr, not struct sockaddrstorage, so the sadata buffer is just 14 bytes.
In the splat below, 2 bytes are overflown to the next int field, arpflags. We initialise the field just after the memcpy(), so it's not a problem.
However, when dev->addrlen is greater than 22 (e.g. MAXADDRLEN), arpnetmask is overwritten, which could be set as htonl(0xFFFFFFFFUL) in arpioctl() before calling arpreqget().
To avoid the overflow, let's limit the max length of memcpy().
Note that commit b5f0de6df6dc ("net: dev: Convert sadata to flexible array in struct sockaddr") just silenced syzkaller.

An information leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 implementation in the ipv6selectident in net/ipv6/outputcore.c function. The use of a small hash table in IP ID generation allows a remote attacker to reveal sensitive information.
.A flaw was found in the CAN BCM networking protocol in the Linux kernel, where a local attacker can abuse a flaw in the CAN subsystem to corrupt memory, crash the system or escalate privileges. This race condition in net/can/bcm.c in the Linux kernel allows for local privilege escalation to root.
A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses.
A race condition was discovered in ext4writeinlinedataend in fs/ext4/inline.c in the ext4 subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.13.13.
A flaw was discovered in processing setsockopt IPTSOSETREPLACE (or IP6TSOSETREPLACE) for 32 bit processes on 64 bit systems. This flaw will allow local user to gain privileges or cause a DoS through user name space. This action is usually restricted to root-privileged users but can also be leveraged if the kernel is compiled with CONFIGUSERNS and CONFIGNETNS and the user is granted elevated privileges.
A TCP/IP packet spoofing attack flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TCP/IP protocol, where a Man-in-the-Middle Attack (MITM) performs an IP fragmentation attack and an IPID collision. This flaw allows a remote user to pretend to be the sender of the TCP/IP packet for an existing TCP/IP session.
A flaw possibility of race condition and incorrect initialization of the process id was found in the Linux kernel child/parent process identification handling while filtering signal handlers. A local attacker is able to abuse this flaw to bypass checks to send any signal to a privileged process.
gadgetdevdescUDCstore in drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.6.13 relies on kstrdup without considering the possibility of an internal '\0' value, which allows attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds read, aka CID-15753588bcd4.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where it allows userspace processes, for example, a guest VM, to directly access h/w devices via its VFIO driver modules. The VFIO modules allow users to enable or disable access to the devices' MMIO memory address spaces. If a user attempts to access the read/write devices' MMIO address space when it is disabled, some h/w devices issue an interrupt to the CPU to indicate a fatal error condition, crashing the system. This flaw allows a guest user or process to crash the host system resulting in a denial of service.
A vulnerability was found in sgwrite in drivers/scsi/sg.c in SCSI generic (sg) driver subsystem. An attacker with a local access and special user privilege (or root) can cause a denial of service (DoS) if allocated list is not cleaned with invalid (Sgfd sfp) pointer at the time of failure, failing this can even cause a kernel internal information leak problem.

A flaw was found in the way the mwifiexcmdappendvsietlv() in Linux kernel's Marvell WiFi-Ex driver handled vendor specific information elements. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.
A use-after-free flaw was observed in blkdevget(), in fs/blockdev.c after a call to blkdevget() fails, and its refcount gets freed/released. This problem may cause a denial of service problem with a special user privilege, and may even lead to a confidentiality issue.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.6.11. btreegccoalesce in drivers/md/bcache/btree.c has a deadlock if a coalescing operation fails.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.4.17. drivers/spi/spi-dw.c allows attackers to cause a panic via concurrent calls to dwspiirq and dwspitransferone, aka CID-19b61392c5a8.
An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A crafted keycode table could be used by drivers/input/input.c to perform the out-of-bounds write. A local user with root access can insert garbage to this keycode table that can lead to out-of-bounds memory access. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.19. The XFRM subsystem has a use-after-free, related to an xfrmstatefini panic, aka CID-dbb2483b2a46.
In the Linux kernel 5.0.21 and 5.3.11, mounting a crafted btrfs filesystem image, performing some operations, and then making a syncfs system call can lead to a use-after-free in trymergefreespace in fs/btrfs/free-space-cache.c because the pointer to a left data structure can be the same as the pointer to a right data structure.
