The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Issue summary: Calling PKCS12_get_friendlyname() function on a maliciously crafted PKCS#12 file with a     BMPString (UTF-16BE) friendly name containing non-ASCII BMP code point can trigger a one byte write before     the allocated buffer. Impact summary: The out-of-bounds write can cause a memory corruption which can have     various consequences including a Denial of Service. The OPENSSL_uni2utf8() function performs a two-pass     conversion of a PKCS#12 BMPString (UTF-16BE) to UTF-8. In the second pass, when emitting UTF-8 bytes, the     helper function bmp_to_utf8() incorrectly forwards the remaining UTF-16 source byte count as the     destination buffer capacity to UTF8_putc(). For BMP code points above U+07FF, UTF-8 requires three bytes,     but the forwarded capacity can be just two bytes. UTF8_putc() then returns -1, and this negative value is     added to the output length without validation, causing the length to become negative. The subsequent     trailing NUL byte is then written at a negative offset, causing write outside of heap allocated buffer.
    The vulnerability is reachable via the public PKCS12_get_friendlyname() API when parsing attacker-     controlled PKCS#12 files. While PKCS12_parse() uses a different code path that avoids this issue,     PKCS12_get_friendlyname() directly invokes the vulnerable function. Exploitation requires an attacker to     provide a malicious PKCS#12 file to be parsed by the application and the attacker can just trigger a one     zero byte write before the allocated buffer. For that reason the issue was assessed as Low severity     according to our Security Policy. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this     issue, as the PKCS#12 implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4,     3.3, 3.0 and 1.1.1 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not affected by this issue.
