An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-0216 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- openssl-src (crates.io): affected from 300.0.0; fixed in 300.0.12\n- openssl-src (crates.io): affected from 300.0.0; fixed in 300.0.12\n- openssl-src (crates.io): affected from 300.0.0; fixed in 300.0.12\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0216/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0216/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-0216","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0216/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-0216","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2023-0216","CLEANSTART-2026-UF28106","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-0216","GHSA-29xx-hcv2-c4cp","RUSTSEC-2023-0011","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-0216"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenSSL cryptographic library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service by triggering an invalid pointer dereference in OpenSSL when processing malformed PKCS7 data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"openssl","cpe":[{"product":"openssl","vendor":"openssl"},{"product":"stormshield_management_center","vendor":"stormshield"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"An invalid pointer dereference on read can be triggered when an\napplication tries to load malformed PKCS7 data with the\nd2i_PKCS7(), d2i_PKCS7_bio() or d2i_PKCS7_fp() functions.\n\nThe result of the dereference is an application crash which could\nlead to a denial of service attack.
