OpenSSL is an Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer |
| 40 |
(SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a general |
| 41 |
purpose cryptography library. |

<p> |
| 46 |
The ASN1_STRING_print_ex() function does not properly check the |
| 47 |
provided length of a BMPString or UniversalString, leading to an |
| 48 |
invalid memory access. |

<impact type="normal"> |
| 52 |
<p> |
| 53 |
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to print a |
| 54 |
specially crafted certificate, possibly leading to a Denial of Service. |
| 55 |

# emerge --sync |

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8k"</code> |
