About this tag
The certificateparsing tag covers vulnerabilities and security issues related to the parsing of digital certificates and cryptographic keys. Content under this tag discusses flaws in libraries such as GnuTLS and OpenSSL that can be triggered by crafted certificates, leading to denial-of-service, memory corruption, or code execution. Topics include CVE-2025-32988 (a double-free in GnuTLS SAN parsing), CVE-2022-0778 (an infinite loop in OpenSSL certificate parsing), and Siemens BFCClient OpenSSL flaws. The tag focuses on the technical root causes of parsing bugs, their operational impact on industrial and enterprise systems, and the importance of patching and mitigation for affected products.
A double‑free in GnuTLS’s Subject Alternative Name export logic — tracked as CVE‑2025‑32988 — can be triggered by a crafted certificate containing an otherName SAN with a malformed type‑id OID, allowing the library to free the same ASN.1 node twice (via asn1_delete_structure()), which in real...
Siemens’ sprawling product portfolio remains at the center of a major, ongoing industrial‑security effort after a broad advisory—originally published by Siemens ProductCERT and republished by U.S. cyber authorities—relisted scores of SCALANCE, RUGGEDCOM, SIMATIC, SIMOTION, SIPLUS and related...
Siemens’ Brownfield Connectivity Client (BFCClient) is the subject of a freshly republished advisory that bundles multiple OpenSSL-related flaws into a single operational risk for industrial environments—vulnerabilities that can be remotely triggered, permit memory disclosure or application...
