CVE-2022-3358 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade openssl-src to version 300.0.10 or higher.
Overview
openssl-src is a crate that contains the logic to build OpenSSL and is intended to be consumed by the openssl-sys crate.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cryptographic Issues due to incorrect handling of legacy custom ciphers passed to the EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() and EVP_CipherInit_ex2() functions, when it incorrectly tries to fetch an equivalent cipher from the available providers.
Exploiting this vulnerability is possible when an application incorrectly passes NID_undef as this value in the call to EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(). When NID_undef is used in this way the OpenSSL encryption/decryption initialization function will match the NULL cipher as being equivalent and will fetch this from the available providers.
Notes:
1)Applications are only affected by this issue if they call EVP_CIPHER_meth_new() using NID_undef and subsequently use it in a call to an encryption/decryption initialization function.
2)Applications that only use SSL/TLS are not impacted by this issue.
