- Fixed in
- 111.9.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Server or client applications that call the SSLcheckchain() function during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the "signaturealgorithmscert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack. OpenSSL version 1.1.1d, 1.1.1e, and 1.1.1f are affected by this issue. This issue did not affect OpenSSL versions prior to 1.1.1d. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1g (Affected 1.1.1d-1.1.1f).
Recommended action: Upgrade to 111.9.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
