Summary

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. In a server or client configuration with RFC7250 Raw Public Keys (RPKs) enabled, where only the private key (with no certificate) is configured, a NULL pointer dereference may occur when the remote peer solicits raw public keys and also sends the typically omitted "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension.

This issue results in a denial of service. However, key-only RPK configurations are not considered a best practice, limiting exposure of this flaw.

There is no data disclosure or command execution. For these reasons, this vulnerability has been rated with a low severity.
