CVE-2016-2842

openssl: doapr_outch function does not verify that certain memory allocation succeeds

Published Mar 3, 2016 CVSS 3.0 · 9.8 Critical EPSS 53.7% KEV · Not listed
Description
The doapr_outch function in crypto/bio/b_print.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g does not verify that a certain memory allocation succeeds, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write or memory consumption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long string, as demonstrated by a large amount of ASN.1 data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-0799.
