Summary:OpenSSL server or client applications are prone to a; denial-of-service vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
OpenSSL server or client applications are prone to a
denial-of-service vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function
during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer dereference as a result of incorrect
handling of the 'signature_algorithms_cert' TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid or unrecognised
signature algorithm is received from the peer.

Vulnerability Impact:
This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of
Service attack.

Affected Software/OS:
OpenSSL versions 1.1.1d, 1.1.1e, and 1.1.1f.

This issue does not impact OpenSSL versions prior to 1.1.1d.

Solution:
Update to version 1.1.1g or later. See the references for more details.
