From 2e65a54d5a2414b8fd3dc36ee1cca3ab9a36586c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andres AG Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 13:54:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Prevent signed integer overflow in CSR parsing Modify the function mbedtls_x509_csr_parse_der() so that it checks the parsed CSR version integer before it increments the value. This prevents a potential signed integer overflow, as these have undefined behaviour in the C standard. --- ChangeLog | 4 ++++ library/x509_csr.c | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 567e98883..eea691958 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -46,6 +46,10 @@ Bugfix Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken in #740 * Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit compilation when using ARM Compiler 6. + * Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER + encoded X509 CSRs.
