Title
Possible Heap Buffer Overflow in ASN.1 Multibyte String Conversion
Summary
Issue summary: A signed integer overflow when sizing the destination buffer for Unicode output in ASN1_mbstring_ncopy() can lead to a heap buffer overflow. Impact summary: A heap buffer overflow may lead to a crash or possibly attacker controlled code execution or other undefined behaviour. In ASN1_mbstring_copy() and ASN1_mbstring_ncopy() the destination size for Unicode output is computed in a signed int: by left shift of the input character count for BMPSTRING (UTF-16) and UNIVERSALSTRING (UTF-32), and by summing per-character byte counts for UTF8STRING. The calculation overflows when the input reaches around 2^30 characters. In the worst case (UNIVERSALSTRING at 2^30 characters) the size wraps to zero, OPENSSL_malloc(1) is called, and the subsequent character copy writes several gigabytes past the one-byte allocation. X.509 certificate processing routes through ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID(), whose DIRSTRING_TYPE mask excludes UNIVERSALSTRING and whose per-NID size limits cap the input length; no network protocol or certificate-handling path in OpenSSL exercises the overflow. Triggering the bug requires an application that calls ASN1_mbstring_copy() or ASN1_mbstring_ncopy() directly, or registers a custom string type via ASN1_STRING_TABLE_add(), with attacker-controlled input on the order of half a gigabyte or more. For these reasons this issue was assigned Low severity. The FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the affected code is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.

En el peor de los casos (UNIVERSALSTRING con 2^30 caracteres) el tama\u00f1o se ajusta a cero, se llama a OPENSSL_malloc(1), y la copia de caracteres subsiguiente escribe varios gigabytes m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la asignaci\u00f3n de un byte.\\n\\nEl procesamiento de certificados X.509 se encamina a trav\u00e9s de ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID(), cuya m\u00e1scara DIRSTRING_TYPE excluye UNIVERSALSTRING y cuyos l\u00edmites de tama\u00f1o por NID restringen la longitud de entrada; ning\u00fan protocolo de red o ruta de manejo de certificados en OpenSSL ejerce el desbordamiento. Activar el error requiere una aplicaci\u00f3n que llama a ASN1_mbstring_copy() o ASN1_mbstring_ncopy() directamente, o registra un tipo de cadena personalizado a trav\u00e9s de ASN1_STRING_TABLE_add(), con entrada controlada por el atacante del orden de medio gigabyte o m\u00e1s. Por estas razones, a este problema se le asign\u00f3 una severidad Baja.\\n\\nLos m\u00f3dulos FIPS en 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4 y 3.0 no se ven afectados por este problema, ya que el c\u00f3digo afectado est\u00e1 fuera del l\u00edmite del m\u00f3dulo FIPS de OpenSSL.\"}],\"affected\":[{\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"affectedData\":[{\"vendor\":\"OpenSSL\",\"product\":\"OpenSSL\",\"defaultStatus\":\"unaffected\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"4.0.0\",\"lessThan\":\"4.0.1\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3.6.0\",\"lessThan\":\"3.6.3\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3.5.0\",\"lessThan\":\"3.5.7\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3.4.0\",\"lessThan\":\"3.4.6\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"3.0.0\",\"lessThan\":\"3.0.21\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"1.1.1\",\"lessThan\":\"1.1.1zh\",\"versionType\":\"custom\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"1.0.2\",\"lessThan\":\"1.0.2zq\",\"versionType\":\"custom\",\"status\":\"affected\"}]}]}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"baseScore\":8.1,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"HIGH\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":2.2,\"impactScore\":5.9}],\"ssvcV203\":[{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"ssvcData\":{\"timestamp\":\"2026-06-09T00:00:00+00:00\",\"id\":\"CVE-2026-7383\",\"options\":[{\"exploitation\":\"none\"},{\"automatable\":\"no\"},{\"technicalImpact\":\"total\"}],\"role\":\"CISA Coordinator\",\"version\":\"2.0.3\"}}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-787\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:openssl:openssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"1.0.2\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.0.2zq\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"F534B804-67B6-49DA-8A86-0FF21E512908\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:openssl:openssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"1.1.1\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"1.1.1zh\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"43EFE1E3-4049-4EE6-A2AE-BDBA38E6870F\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:openssl:openssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"3.0.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"3.0.21\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"EDB88756-EDFE-4886-A267-3F19342A6042\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:openssl:openssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"3.4.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"3.4.6\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"BF7E21E7-AEC0-4882-B1F1-2D056B506F22\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:openssl:openssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"3.5.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"3.5.7\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"6B6B9930-C549-4D88-9784-AF32CCDDB87A\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:openssl:openssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"3.6.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"3.6.3\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"D41B3C45-EC73-4DC8-989D-B2E2792E102F\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:openssl:openssl:4.0.0:-:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"6E881B9A-1A0A-4BC0-8160-20C00561167D\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/4f8d2bddaa2c8e06f9c33390ee1717059a6e4be6\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/80c15faaf78042bbb8654a0e234c50c381732f74\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/bd17511070fb39a67bfa19682affb765e706a974\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/c332adaced43bcbb85f97410597e951c11ec3083\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/d32350ae8ef7426718f5aa9e383d4b51398ee255\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20260609.txt\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"tags\":[\"Vendor Advisory\"]}]}}",
