High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PolarSSL versions 1.0 through 1.2.12 PolarSSL versions 1.3.x through 1.3.9

Description The issue is related to the improper initialization of a pointer in the asn1 sequence linked list by the asn1 get sequence of function. This can be exploited by remote attackers using a crafted ASN.1 sequence in a certificate, potentially leading to a denial of service (crash) or possibly the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations For PolarSSL versions 1.0 through 1.2.12, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue. For PolarSSL versions 1.3.x through 1.3.9, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the asn1 get sequence of function until a patch is available.
