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.
