"Issue summary: Processing a malformed PKCS#12 file can trigger a NULL
pointer dereference in the PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex() function.
Impact summary: A NULL pointer dereference can trigger a crash which
leads to Denial of Service for an application processing PKCS#12
files. The PKCS12_item_decrypt_d2i_ex() function does not check
whether the oct parameter is NULL before dereferencing it. When
called from PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata() with a malformed PKCS#12 file,
this parameter can be NULL, causing a crash. The vulnerability is
limited to Denial of Service and cannot be escalated to achieve code
execution or memory disclosure. Exploiting this issue requires an
attacker to provide a malformed PKCS#12 file to an application that
processes it. For that reason the issue was assessed as Low severity
according to our Security Policy. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5,
3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the PKCS#12
implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL
3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0, 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are vulnerable to this issue.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
