+ <p>The OpenSSL project reports:</p>
+ <blockquote cite="https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20211214.txt">
+ <p>Invalid handling of X509_verify_cert() internal errors in libssl
+ (Moderate)</p>
+ <p>Internally libssl in OpenSSL calls X509_verify_cert() on the client
+ side to verify a certificate supplied by a server. That function may
+ return a negative return value to indicate an internal error (for
+ example out of memory). Such a negative return value is mishandled by
+ OpenSSL and will cause an IO function (such as SSL_connect() or
+ SSL_do_handshake()) to not indicate success and a subsequent call to
+ SSL_get_error() to return the value SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY.
+ This return value is only supposed to be returned by OpenSSL if the
+ application has previously called SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback().
+ Since most applications do not do this the
+ SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY return value from SSL_get_error() will be
+ totally unexpected and applications may not behave correctly as a
+ result. The exact behaviour will depend on the application but it
+ could result in crashes, infinite loops or other similar incorrect
+ responses.</p>
