description

OpenSSL 4.0 can access freed X.509 extension-cache data during concurrent certificate validation. An unauthenticated remote peer may cause a multithreaded TLS client, or a server verifying client certificates, to terminate. Exposure requires several initial chain validations against the same trusted CA to occur concurrently.

mitigation

Upgrade OpenSSL 4.0 deployments to version 4.0.3. Until upgrades are complete, reduce exposure by avoiding concurrent initial validations that share trusted CA certificates.

fixed in 4.0.3
