CVE-2023-0216

7.5 highEPSS 1.8%

High (7.5). EPSS 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in openssl-src 300.0.12.

An invalid pointer dereference on read can be triggered when an application tries to load malformed PKCS7 data with the d2i_PKCS7(), d2i_PKCS7_bio() or d2i_PKCS7_fp() functions. The result of the dereference is an application crash which could lead to a denial of service attack. The TLS implementation in OpenSSL does not call this function however third party applications might call these functions on untrusted data.
