Lack of data validation In openssl

Description

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. When an application uses the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_email() function to validate a specially crafted S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) email address, an out-of-bounds read can occur. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious email, leading to an application crash and a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue does not directly expose sensitive data.

Mitigation

Update Impact
