{"id":"ALPINE-CVE-2026-75805","details":"Issue summary: A CMP client that requests certificate revocation on the basis\nof a PKCS#10 CSR may dereference a NULL pointer and terminate abnormally when\nprocessing a crafted revocation response. \n\nImpact summary: The NULL pointer dereference happens on a read which \nleads to a crash and a Denial of Service for the affected client application.\n\nCWE: CWE-476: NULL-pointer dereference\n\nDescription: A CMP client revoking a certificate has to tell the server which\ncertificate to revoke, and may do so by supplying a PKCS#10 CSR instead of the\ncertificate itself or its issuer name and serial number. This is\n'openssl cmp -cmd rr -csr \u003cfile\u003e' on the command line, or\nOSSL_CMP_exec_RR_ses() with the certificate supplied via\nOSSL_CMP_CTX_set1_p10CSR() through the API.\n\nA CSR does not contain the issuer name and serial number of the certificate,\nso the client does not send them. A server may optionally name the\ncertificate it revoked in its response, and the client then compares that\nname against what it sent. Having sent neither an issuer name nor a serial\nnumber, it has nothing to compare against, and a server returning a specially\ncrafted name causes the client to read from a NULL pointer and crash.\n\nThe revocation response is checked for valid message protection before\nthe affected code is reached, so an attacker must be a malicious or\ncompromised CMP server, or a man-in-the-middle in possession of the\nsecret used for message protection. Clients that identify the certificate\nto be revoked by a certificate or by issuer and serial number rather\nthan by a PKCS#10 CSR are not affected.\n\nFIPS impact: no\nNo FIPS modules are affected by this issue, as the CMP protocol\nimplementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.","modified":"2026-09-30T11:30:04.423943182Z","published":"2026-09-29T16:17:11.063Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-75805"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2026-75805"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openssl","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.21","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/openssl?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.3.7-r2"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2026-75805.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
