CVE-2015-1182  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 polarssl to version 1.3.9-2.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream polarssl package and not the polarssl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The asn1_get_sequence_of function in library/asn1parse.c in PolarSSL 1.0 through 1.2.12 and 1.3.x through 1.3.9 does not properly initialize a pointer in the asn1_sequence linked list, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ASN.1 sequence in a certificate.
