Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** Issue summary: In a server or client configuration with RFC7250 Raw Public Keys (RPKs)<br />
enabled, and only the private key (with no associated certificate) configured locally,<br />
a NULL pointer dereference may occur when the remote peer solicits raw public keys and<br />
also sends the typically omitted "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension.<br />
<br />
Impact summary: The impact is limited to a possible Denial of Service as a result of<br />
an application abort, no data disclosure or remote command execution are possible.<br />
<br />
CWE: CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference<br />
<br />
Description: While a passing comment in sample code in the documentation suggests<br />
that key-only RPK configurations are supported, the best-practice RPK configuration<br />
is to always configure a corresponding certificate (possibly self-signed or<br />
signed by any convenient CA).<br />
<br />
When the private key is configured along with a matching certificate, the<br />
"signature_algorithms_cert" extension is handled reliably even without the<br />
fix, and peer clients or servers that don&#39;t support raw public keys may be<br />
able to complete a TLS connection by pinning or verifying the corresponding<br />
certificate or its public key.<br />
<br />
Deployments that prefer to configure just a private key with no certificate<br />
need to upgrade to an updated release as noted below.<br />
<br />
FIPS impact: no<br />
<br />
No FIPS modules are affected by this issue, as the SSL protocol implementation<br />
is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.
