Loading vulnerability details...
A security vulnerability has been identified in all supported versions
of OpenSSL related to the verification of X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. Attackers may be able to exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious certificate chain that triggers exponential use of computational resources, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on affected systems.
Policy processing is disabled by default but can be enabled by passing
the -policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function.

This high-severity vulnerability could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access, execute arbitrary code, or compromise data integrity. Prompt remediation is strongly recommended.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days · more likely than 89.3% of all CVEs.
Isolate affected systems from untrusted networks until patching is complete
