Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2013-4623 (CCN-86381)

Assigned:2013-06-21
Published:2013-06-21
Updated:2013-10-31
Summary:The x509parse_crt function in x509.h in PolarSSL 1.1.x before 1.1.7 and 1.2.x before 1.2.8 does not properly parse certificate messages during the SSL/TLS handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a certificate message that contains a PEM encoded certificate.
