"An application trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using password
based encryption can trigger an out-of-bounds read and write. Impact
summary: This out-of-bounds read may trigger a crash which leads to
Denial of Service for an application. The out-of-bounds write can
cause a memory corruption which can have various consequences
including a Denial of Service or Execution of attacker-supplied code.
Although the consequences of a successful exploit of this
vulnerability could be severe, the probability that the attacker would
be able to perform it is low. Besides, password based (PWRI)
encryption support in CMS messages is very rarely used. For that
reason the issue was assessed as Moderate severity according to our
Security Policy. The FIPS modules in 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0
are not affected by this issue, as the CMS implementation is outside
the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
