How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 libopenssl1_1-32bit to version 1.1.1l-150400.7.90.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libopenssl1_1-32bit package and not the libopenssl1_1-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

Issue summary: During processing of a crafted CMS EnvelopedData message with KeyAgreeRecipientInfo a NULL pointer dereference can happen.

Impact summary: Applications that process attacker-controlled CMS data may crash before authentication or cryptographic operations occur resulting in Denial of Service.

When a CMS EnvelopedData message that uses KeyAgreeRecipientInfo is processed, the optional parameters field of KeyEncryptionAlgorithmIdentifier is examined without checking for its presence. This results in a NULL pointer dereference if the field is missing.

Applications and services that call CMS_decrypt() on untrusted input (e.g., S/MIME processing or CMS-based protocols) are vulnerable.

The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
