CVE-2016-9939

Crypto++ aka cryptopp and libcrypto++ 5.6.4 contained a bug in its ASN.1 BER decoding routine. The library will allocate a memory block based on the length field of the ASN.1 object. If there is not enough content octets in the ASN.1 object, then the function will fail and the memory block will b...

CVE-2016-7544

Crypto++ 5.6.4 incorrectly uses Microsoft's stack-based malloca and freea functions. The library will request a block of memory to align a table in memory. If the table is later reallocated, then the wrong pointer could be freed...

CVE-2016-9939

CVE-2016-9939 affects Crypto++ (Crypto++/libcrypto++) 5.6.4, where the ASN.1 BER decoding routine allocates a memory block based on the length field and may zero the memory if contents are insufficient, causing a noticeable delay during the wipe for large allocations. This concrete detail is repe...

CVE-2016-7544

Crypto++ 5.6.4 is affected: it relies on Microsoft stack-based _malloca/_freea to align a table, and if the table is realloc’d the wrong pointer could be freed. This can impact memory management and may affect availability as described in CVE-2016-7544. Connected records show a Fedora update upgr...
