CVE-2023-0464 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl-libs package and not the openssl-libs package as distributed by RHEL.
A security vulnerability has been identified in all supported versions
of OpenSSL related to the verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. Attackers may be able to exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious certificate chain that triggers exponential use of computational resources, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on affected systems.
Policy processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing
the -policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.
