  - Issue summary: When a delta CRL that contains a Delta CRL Indicator extension is processed a NULL pointer
    dereference might happen if the required CRL Number extension is missing. Impact summary: A NULL pointer
    dereference can trigger a crash which leads to a Denial of Service for an application. When CRL processing
    and delta CRL processing is enabled during X.509 certificate verification, the delta CRL processing does
    not check whether the CRL Number extension is NULL before dereferencing it. When a malformed delta CRL
    file is being processed, this parameter can be NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Exploiting this
    issue requires the X509_V_FLAG_USE_DELTAS flag to be enabled in the verification context, the certificate
    being verified to contain a freshestCRL extension or the base CRL to have the EXFLAG_FRESHEST flag set,
    and an attacker to provide a malformed CRL to an application that processes it. The vulnerability is
    limited to Denial of Service and cannot be escalated to achieve code execution or memory disclosure. 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 affected code is outside the OpenSSL
    FIPS module boundary. (CVE-2026-28388)

  - Issue summary: During processing of a crafted CMS EnvelopedData message with KeyAgreeRecipientInfo a NULL
    pointer dereference can happen. Impact summary: Applications that process attacker-controlled CMS data may
    crash before authentication or cryptographic operations occur resulting in Denial of Service. When a CMS
    EnvelopedData message that uses KeyAgreeRecipientInfo is processed, the optional parameters field of
    KeyEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier is examined without checking for its presence. This results in a NULL
    pointer dereference if the field is missing. Applications and services that call CMS_decrypt() on
    untrusted input (e.g., S/MIME processing or CMS-based protocols) are vulnerable. The FIPS modules in 3.6,
    3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS
    module boundary. (CVE-2026-28389)

  - Issue summary: During processing of a crafted CMS EnvelopedData message with KeyTransportRecipientInfo a
    NULL pointer dereference can happen. Impact summary: Applications that process attacker-controlled CMS
    data may crash before authentication or cryptographic operations occur resulting in Denial of Service.
    When a CMS EnvelopedData message that uses KeyTransportRecipientInfo with RSA-OAEP encryption is
    processed, the optional parameters field of RSA-OAEP SourceFunc algorithm identifier is examined without
    checking for its presence. This results in a NULL pointer dereference if the field is missing.
    Applications and services that call CMS_decrypt() on untrusted input (e.g., S/MIME processing or CMS-based
    protocols) are vulnerable. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue,
    as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. (CVE-2026-28390)

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