Summary
Issue summary: Use of the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes. Impact summary: Out of bound memory writes can lead to an application crash or even a possibility of a remote code execution, however, in all the protocols involving Elliptic Curve Cryptography that we're aware of, either only "named curves" are supported, or, if explicit curve parameters are supported, they specify an X9.62 encoding of binary (GF(2^m)) curves that can't represent problematic input values. Thus the likelihood of existence of a vulnerable application is low. In particular, the X9.62 encoding is used for ECC keys in X.509 certificates, so problematic inputs cannot occur in the context of processing X.509 certificates. Any problematic use-cases would have to be using an "exotic" curve encoding. The affected APIs include: EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m(), EC_GROUP_new_from_params(), and various supporting BN_GF2m_*() functions. Applications working with "exotic" explicit binary (GF(2^m)) curve parameters, that make it possible to represent invalid field polynomials with a zero constant term, via the above or similar APIs, may terminate abruptly as a result of reading or writing outside of array bounds. Remote code execution cannot easily be ruled out. The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.

Resumen del impacto: las escrituras de memoria fuera de los l\u00edmites pueden generar un bloqueo de la aplicaci\u00f3n o incluso la posibilidad de una ejecuci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo remoto; sin embargo, en todos los protocolos que involucran criptograf\u00eda de curva el\u00edptica que conocemos, solo se admiten \\\"curvas con nombre\\\" o, si se admiten par\u00e1metros de curva expl\u00edcitos, especifican una codificaci\u00f3n X9.62 de curvas binarias (GF(2^m)) que no pueden representar valores de entrada problem\u00e1ticos. Por lo tanto, la probabilidad de existencia de una aplicaci\u00f3n vulnerable es baja. En particular, la codificaci\u00f3n X9.62 se utiliza para claves ECC en certificados X.509, por lo que no pueden ocurrir entradas problem\u00e1ticas en el contexto del procesamiento de certificados X.509.
