CVE-2022-1473— Resource leakage when decoding certificates and keys

Resource leakage when decoding certificates and keys

The OPENSSL_LH_flush() function, which empties a hash table, contains a bug that breaks reuse of the memory occuppied by the removed hash table entries. This function is used when decoding certificates or keys. If a long lived process periodically decodes certificates or keys its memory usage will expand without bounds and the process might be terminated by the operating system causing a denial of service. Also traversing the empty hash table entries will take increasingly more time. Typically such long lived processes might be TLS clients or TLS servers configured to accept client certificate authentication. The function was added in the OpenSSL 3.0 version thus older releases are not affected by the issue. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.3 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1,3.0.2).

OpenSSL 安全漏洞

OpenSSL是Openssl团队的一个开源的能够实现安全套接层（SSLv2/v3）和安全传输层（TLSv1）协议的通用加密库。该产品支持多种加密算法，包括对称密码、哈希算法、安全散列算法等。 OpenSSL 存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于清空哈希表的 OPENSSL_LH_flush() 函数包含一个错误，该错误会破坏已删除的哈希表条目占用的内存的重用。攻击者利用该漏洞可以实现拒绝服务攻击。
