Greetings,

 

I have identified an OpenSSL crash. I have no idea whether it is exploitable in 
any way (maybe I should be posting this publicly?). The crash seems isolated to 
OpenSSL 0.9.8x (0.9.8d is also affected). To reproduce just execute:

 

openssl pkcs12 -export -chain –nokeys

<any_string_not_really_required>

^D

 

On my Gentoo install I get a:

*** glibc detected **** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7ddd838 ***

 

Having compiled it from source on Gentoo (though using the official ebuild) I 
went ahead and tried Fedora -- it results in a Segmentation Fault, and it also 
crashes Sunshine’s Win32 distribution… I have been unable to reproduce it 
on 0.9.7d.

 

Thanks,

Alexander Ivantchev
