K15571 : OpenSSL vulnerability CVE-2014-3508

Security Advisory Description

Description

The OBJ_obj2txt function in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8 before 0.9.8zb, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0n, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i, when pretty printing is used, does not ensure the presence of ‘\0’ characters, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process stack memory by reading output from X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex, and unspecified other functions. (CVE-2014-3508)

Impact

Applications may be affected if they use pretty printing to echo output to the attacker. OpenSSL SSL/TLS clients and servers themselves are not affected.
