  - Issue summary: Parsing a crafted DER-encoded ASN.1 structure with a primitive element whose content
    exceeds 2 gigabytes in length may cause a heap buffer over-read on 64-bit Unix and Unix-like platforms.
    Impact summary: The heap buffer over-read may crash the application (Denial of Service) or to load into
    the decoded ASN.1 object contents of memory beyond the end of the input buffer. More typically such ASN.1
    elements would instead be truncated. An integer truncation in OpenSSL's ASN.1 decoder causes the content
    length of an ASN.1 primitive element to be mishandled when it exceeds 2 gigabytes. In the worst case the
    truncated length is treated as a request to scan the binary content for a terminating zero byte, possibly
    causing OpenSSL to read either less than or beyond the end of the allocated buffer. Applications that pass
    attacker-supplied data to d2i_X509(), d2i_PKCS7(), or any other d2i_* decoding function are affected.
    OpenSSL's own command-line tools are not vulnerable, as data read through the BIO layer is checked before
    it reaches the affected code. The issue only affects 64-bit Unix and Unix-like platforms; 32-bit platforms
    and 64-bit Windows are not affected. The FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4 and 3.0 are not affected by
    this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. (CVE-2026-34180)

  - Issue summary: A specially crafted password-encrypted CMS message can trigger a NULL pointer dereference
    during CMS decryption. Impact summary: This NULL pointer dereference leads to an application crash and a
    Denial of Service. The CMS PasswordRecipientInfo.keyDerivationAlgorithm field is defined as OPTIONAL in
    the ASN.1 specification and may therefore be absent in specially crafted inputs. During the password-based
    CMS decryption the OpenSSL CMS implementation dereferences this field without first checking whether it
    was present. An attacker who supplies such a CMS message to an application performing password-based CMS
    decryption can trigger an application crash, leading to a Denial of Service. Applications that process
    password-encrypted CMS messages may be affected. The FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.0 are not
    affected by this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. (CVE-2026-42766)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
