*) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
13+
14+
Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
15+
in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
16+
excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
17+
are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
18+
so this is considered safe.
19+
20+
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
21+
project.

(CVE-2018-0739)

*) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
26+
27+
Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
28+
effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
29+
byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
30+
authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
31+
security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
32+
HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
33+
34+
This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
35+
(IBM).
36+
(CVE-2018-0733)

[Andy Polyakov]

*) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1340
and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1441
things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
