# Double free after calling `PEM_read_bio_ex`
|
||||
|
||||
The function `PEM_read_bio_ex()` reads a PEM file from a BIO and parses and
|
||||
decodes the "name" (e.g. "CERTIFICATE"), any header data and the payload data.
|
||||
If the function succeeds then the "name_out", "header" and "data" arguments are
|
||||
populated with pointers to buffers containing the relevant decoded data. The
|
||||
caller is responsible for freeing those buffers. It is possible to construct a
|
||||
PEM file that results in 0 bytes of payload data. In this case `PEM_read_bio_ex()`
|
||||
will return a failure code but will populate the header argument with a pointer
|
||||
to a buffer that has already been freed. If the caller also frees this buffer
|
||||
then a double free will occur. This will most likely lead to a crash. This
|
||||
could be exploited by an attacker who has the ability to supply malicious PEM
|
||||
files for parsing to achieve a denial of service attack.
|
||||
|
||||
The functions `PEM_read_bio()` and `PEM_read()` are simple wrappers around
|
||||
`PEM_read_bio_ex()` and therefore these functions are also directly affected.
|
||||
|
||||
These functions are also called indirectly by a number of other OpenSSL
|
||||
functions including `PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio_ex()` and
|
||||
`SSL_CTX_use_serverinfo_file()` which are also vulnerable. Some OpenSSL internal
|
||||
uses of these functions are not vulnerable because the caller does not free the
|
||||
header argument if `PEM_read_bio_ex()` returns a failure code. These locations
|
||||
include the `PEM_read_bio_TYPE()` functions as well as the decoders introduced in
|
||||
OpenSSL 3.0.
