Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-095
Advisory Release Date: 2023-02-17 20:47 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-02-22 23:27 Pacific
Severity:
Low
Issue Overview:
If an X.509 certificate contains a malformed policy constraint and policy processing is enabled, then a write lock will be taken twice recursively. On some operating systems (most widely: Windows) this results in a denial of service when the affected process hangs. Policy processing being enabled on a publicly facing server is not considered to be a common setup. Policy processing is enabled by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling either `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy()' or `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' functions. (CVE-2022-3996)
