The public API function BIO_new_NDEF is a helper function used forstreamingASN.1 data via a BIO. It is primarily used internally to OpenSSL to supporttheSMIME, CMS and PKCS7 streaming capabilities, but may also be calleddirectly byend user applications.The function receives a BIO from the caller, prepends a new BIO_f_asn1filterBIO onto the front of it to form a BIO chain, and then returns the new headofthe BIO chain to the caller. Under certain conditions, for example if a CMSrecipient public key is invalid, the new filter BIO is freed and thefunctionreturns a NULL result indicating a failure. However, in this case, the BIOchainis not properly cleaned up and the BIO passed by the caller still retainsinternal pointers to the previously freed filter BIO. If the caller thengoes onto call BIO_pop() on the BIO then a use-after-free will occur. This willmostlikely result in a crash.This scenario occurs directly in the internal function B64_write_ASN1()whichmay cause BIO_new_NDEF() to be called and will subsequently call BIO_pop()onthe BIO. This internal function is in turn called by the public APIfunctionsPEM_write_bio_ASN1_stream, PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream,PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream,SMIME_write_ASN1, SMIME_write_CMS and SMIME_write_PKCS7.Other public API functions that may be impacted by this includei2d_ASN1_bio_stream, BIO_new_CMS, BIO_new_PKCS7, i2d_CMS_bio_stream andi2d_PKCS7_bio_stream.The OpenSSL cms and smime command line applications are similarly affected.
