OpenSSL: CVE-2022-3786 X.509 certificate verification buffer overrun
CVE-2022-3786 is fixed in 21 products on 2 platforms, first by libssl3 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.7, released October 31, 2022. It is not reported as exploited, but the vendor rates exploitation more likely. Patch Radar priority: Urgent.
A buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification, specifically in name constraint checking. Note that this occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to have signed a malicious certificate or for an application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. An attacker can craft a malicious email address in a certificate to overflow an arbitrary number of bytes containing the `.' character (decimal 46) on the stack. This buffer overflow could result in a crash (causing a denial of service). In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests client authentication and a malicious client connects.
