About this tag
CVE-2024-0727 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in OpenSSL's PKCS#12 decoding. A malformed PKCS#12 file can trigger a NULL pointer dereference, crashing any application that parses .p12 or .pfx files using vulnerable OpenSSL APIs. This affects services that import or process certificate containers, potentially taking down critical infrastructure. The vulnerability highlights the risk of untrusted certificate files and the importance of updating OpenSSL to patched versions. Windows systems using OpenSSL for certificate handling may be impacted, though the vulnerability is in the library itself, not Windows-specific. Users should apply security updates from their OpenSSL provider.

  1. CVE-2024-0727: OpenSSL PKCS#12 DoS via NULL Pointer Dereference

    A simple, malformed PKCS#12 file can crash OpenSSL and take down services that import or parse certificates — CVE-2024-0727 exposes a NULL-pointer weakness in PKCS#12 decoding that allows an attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition in any application that uses vulnerable OpenSSL...
