Asymmetric denial of service In openssl

Description

openssl's MemBio::get_buf has undefined behavior with empty buffers Previously, MemBio::get_buf called slice::from_raw_parts with a null-pointer, which violates the functions invariants, leading to undefined behavior. In debug builds this would produce an assertion failure. This is now fixed.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
