Title:MatrixSSL <= 3.8.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Summary:MatrixSSL is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
MatrixSSL is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
The following flaws exist:

- CVE-2016-6890 (Heap-based Buffer Overflow): The Subject Alt Name field of X.509 certificates is
not properly parsed. A specially crafted certificate may result in a heap-based buffer overflow
and arbitrary code execution.

- CVE-2016-6891 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer): The
ASN.1 Bit Field is not properly parsed. A specially crafted certificate may lead to a denial of
service condition due to an out of bounds read in memory.

- CVE-2016-6892 (Free of Memory not on the Heap): The x509FreeExtensions() function does not
properly parse X.509 certificates. A specially crafted certificate may cause a free operation on
unallocated memory, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Vulnerability Impact:
A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to create a denial
of service condition or execute arbitrary code in the context of the SSL stack.

Affected Software/OS:
MatrixSSL 3.8.5 and prior.

Solution:
Update to version 3.8.6 or later.
