  - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
