Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the ASN.1 decoder. An attacker can crash the application or cause memory beyond the end of the input buffer to be loaded into the decoded ASN.1 object, by supplying very large input data. Applications that pass untrusted input to d2i_X509(), d2i_PKCS7(), or other d2i_* functions are affected. OpenSSL command line tools are not.

Note: Only 64-bit Unix-like systems are vulnerable.
