Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** Issue summary: The OpenSSL Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) caches<br />
additional certificates (extraCerts) sent in a CMP message, but never expunges<br />
them (for instance if they are invalid). If a server reuses an OSSL_CMP_CTX<br />
frequently, this cache of extraCerts may grow unboundedly, and a malicious<br />
client may flood a CMP server with requests driving this growth.<br />
<br />
Impact summary: Users utilizing a CMP server that reuses a single OSSL_CMP_CTX<br />
for the lifetime of a server process may observe unbounded memory growth in the<br />
event a malicious client repeatedly sends requests containing unique extra<br />
certificates, which may lead to OOM conditions.<br />
<br />
CWE: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling<br />
<br />
Description: If a remote user sends CMP messages to a server with a list of<br />
extraCerts and the message is rejected, the extraCerts from the message remains<br />
in the server contexts untrusted certificate stack. This exposes servers with<br />
long lived ctx objects to Denial of Service attacks in which an attacker sends<br />
messages intending to be rejected with a large list of additional certificates<br />
repeatedly, forcing the server to store them indefinitely.<br />
<br />
The issue was fixed by removing the added extra certs if the message is<br />
rejected, using the same method as when the context is configured to not do<br />
caching at all.<br />
<br />
FIPS impact: no<br />
As the CMP code lives outside the FIPS module boundary, no FIPS<br />
modules are affected by this CVE.
