Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via GitHub release of openssl/openssl. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

NULL pointer dereference in OpenSSL's CRMF EncryptedValue decryption path crashes the affected process, creating a remotely triggerable denial-of-service condition across five actively maintained OpenSSL branches (3.0.x, 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, and 4.0.x). The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, score 5.9) confirms network reachability with no authentication required, but high attack complexity limits trivial mass exploitation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target application is actively processing CRMF EncryptedValue decryption - meaning it must be running a service that accepts and processes CRMF or CMP certificate management protocol messages (such as a CA enrollment server, CMP gateway, or registration authority). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.9 score reflects a meaningful but bounded threat. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can reach a network service that uses OpenSSL to process CRMF certificate management messages - such as a CA enrollment endpoint, a CMP-speaking registration authority, or an EST/SCEP server - sends a specially crafted CRMF request containing a malformed or incomplete EncryptedValue structure. OpenSSL's decryption handler dereferences a NULL pointer, causing the serving process to crash and producing a denial-of-service condition for all users of that PKI service. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade to the patched OpenSSL releases: 3.0.21, 3.4.6, 3.5.7, 3.6.3, or 4.0.1 depending on the branch in use. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
