CVE-2015-0287: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2015-0287: The ASN1_item_ex_d2i function in crypto/asn1/tasn_dec.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8zf, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0r, 1.0...

The ASN1_item_ex_d2i function in crypto/asn1/tasn_dec.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8zf, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0r, 1.0.1 before 1.0.1m, and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2a does not reinitialize CHOICE and ADB data structures, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write operation and memory corruption) by leveraging an application that relies on ASN.1 structure reuse.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This OpenSSL flaw can let an attacker crash or corrupt memory in software that parses ASN.1 data in a specific reuse pattern. The main business risk is service disruption in systems using vulnerable OpenSSL releases or vendor products that bundled them. Exposure is most likely in legacy servers, appliances, agents, or applications still linked to affected OpenSSL branches. Risk is conditional: the application must rely on ASN.1 structure reuse, and vendor products may need product-specific advisories. Treat as a legacy OpenSSL remediation item with moderate urgency. Prioritize internet-facing and certificate-processing systems, but do not treat it as confirmed exploited based on the provided evidence. Mitigation focus: Upgrade OpenSSL to a fixed release or vendor-supported patched package.; Apply relevant OS or appliance vendor advisories for bundled OpenSSL.; Inventory products that embed OpenSSL rather than using system packages..
