How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Echo:latest libcrypt-openssl-x509-perl.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcrypt-openssl-x509-perl package and not the libcrypt-openssl-x509-perl package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Crypt::OpenSSL::X509 versions before 2.1.3 for Perl allow denial of service via NULL pointer dereference.

X509V3_EXT_d2i(ext) returns NULL when an extension's DER value fails to parse. basicC, ia5string, and auth_att dereference its result without a NULL check. keyid_data also dereferences akid->keyid, which is NULL for an empty AKI SEQUENCE (DER 30 00) even when the parse succeeds.

A caller invoking an affected helper on an extension from an untrusted certificate triggers a SIGSEGV that crashes the Perl process.
