USN-5710-1 (UBUNTU-CVE-2022-3358)
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2022-11-01 16:24 – Updated: 2026-04-27 14:11 – Source websiteIt was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain X.509 Email Addresses. If a certificate authority were tricked into signing a specially-crafted certificate, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. The default compiler options for affected releases reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-3602, CVE-2022-3786)
It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled applications creating custom ciphers via the legacy EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() function. This issue could cause certain applications that mishandled values to the function to possibly end up with a NULL cipher and messages in plaintext. (CVE-2022-3358)
