<p>A security vulnerability is present in OpenSSL in MidnightBSD
3.2.3, 4.0 current. </p>

application trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using
password based encryption can trigger an out-of-bounds read and
write. Impact summary: This out-of-bounds read may trigger a
crash which leads to Denial of Service for an application. The
out-of-bounds write can cause a memory corruption which can have
various consequences including a Denial of Service or Execution
of attacker-supplied code. Although the consequences of a
successful exploit of this vulnerability could be severe, the
probability that the attacker would be able to perform it is
low. Besides, password based (PWRI) encryption support in CMS
messages is very rarely used. For that reason the issue was
assessed as Moderate severity according to our Security Policy.
The FIPS modules in 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not
affected by this issue, as the CMS implementation is outside the
OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.</span></p>
