Description

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. A type confusion vulnerability exists in the TimeStamp Response verification code, where an ASN1_TYPE union member is accessed without proper type validation. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a malformed TimeStamp Response to an application that verifies timestamp responses. This can lead to an invalid or NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) due to an application crash.
