* CVE-2023-0215: bio_ndef: fix a UAF resulting from a bug in BIO_new_NDEF
* CVE-2023-0464: x509v3: Limit X.509 certificate tree size to avoid exponential
use of computational resources
CVE(s):
CVE-2023-0464
A security vulnerability has been identified in all supported versions of OpenSSL related to the
verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. Attackers may be able to exploit
this vulnerability by creating a malicious certificate chain that triggers exponential use of
computational resources, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on affected systems. Policy
processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line
utilities or by calling the `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.
CVE-2023-0215
The public API function BIO_new_NDEF is a helper function used for streaming ASN.1 data via a BIO. It is
primarily used internally to OpenSSL to support the SMIME, CMS and PKCS7 streaming capabilities, but may
also be called directly by end user applications. The function receives a BIO from the caller, prepends a
new BIO_f_asn1 filter BIO onto the front of it to form a BIO chain, and then returns the new head of the
BIO chain to the caller. Under certain conditions, for example if a CMS recipient public key is invalid,
the new filter BIO is freed and the function returns a NULL result indicating a failure. However, in this
case, the BIO chain is not properly cleaned up and the BIO passed by the caller still retains internal
pointers to the previously freed filter BIO. If the caller then goes on to call BIO_pop() on the BIO then
a use-after-free will occur. This will most likely result in a crash. This scenario occurs directly in the
internal function B64_write_ASN1() which may cause BIO_new_NDEF() to be called and will subsequently call
BIO_pop() on the BIO. This internal function is in turn called by the public API functions
PEM_write_bio_ASN1_stream, PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream, PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream, SMIME_write_ASN1,
SMIME_write_CMS and SMIME_write_PKCS7. Other public API functions that may be impacted by this include
i2d_ASN1_bio_stream, BIO_new_CMS, BIO_new_PKCS7, i2d_CMS_bio_stream and i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream. The OpenSSL
cms and smime command line applications are similarly affected.
