* Fixed an SM2 Decryption Buffer Overflow.
- In order to decrypt SM2 encrypted data an application is expected to call the
- API function EVP_PKEY_decrypt(). Typically an application will call this
- function twice. The first time, on entry, the "out" parameter can be NULL and,
- on exit, the "outlen" parameter is populated with the buffer size required to
- hold the decrypted plaintext. The application can then allocate a sufficiently
- sized buffer and call EVP_PKEY_decrypt() again, but this time passing a non-NULL
- value for the "out" parameter.

A bug in the implementation of the SM2 decryption code means that the
- calculation of the buffer size required to hold the plaintext returned by the
- first call to EVP_PKEY_decrypt() can be smaller than the actual size required by
- the second call. This can lead to a buffer overflow when EVP_PKEY_decrypt() is
- called by the application a second time with a buffer that is too small.
-
- A malicious attacker who is able present SM2 content for decryption to an
- application could cause attacker chosen data to overflow the buffer by up to a
- maximum of 62 bytes altering the contents of other data held after the
- buffer, possibly changing application behaviour or causing the application to
- crash. The location of the buffer is application dependent but is typically
- heap allocated.

- * Fixed various read buffer overruns processing ASN.1 strings
-
- ASN.1 strings are represented internally within OpenSSL as an ASN1_STRING
- structure which contains a buffer holding the string data and a field holding
- the buffer length. This contrasts with normal C strings which are repesented as
- a buffer for the string data which is terminated with a NUL (0) byte.
-
- Although not a strict requirement, ASN.1 strings that are parsed using OpenSSL's
- own "d2i" functions (and other similar parsing functions) as well as any string
- whose value has been set with the ASN1_STRING_set() function will additionally
- NUL terminate the byte array in the ASN1_STRING structure.
-
- However, it is possible for applications to directly construct valid ASN1_STRING
- structures which do not NUL terminate the byte array by directly setting the
- "data" and "length" fields in the ASN1_STRING array. This can also happen by
- using the ASN1_STRING_set0() function.
-
- Numerous OpenSSL functions that print ASN.1 data have been found to assume that
- the ASN1_STRING byte array will be NUL terminated, even though this is not
- guaranteed for strings that have been directly constructed. Where an application
- requests an ASN.1 structure to be printed, and where that ASN.1 structure
- contains ASN1_STRINGs that have been directly constructed by the application
- without NUL terminating the "data" field, then a read buffer overrun can occur.
-
- The same thing can also occur during name constraints processing of certificates
- (for example if a certificate has been directly constructed by the application
- instead of loading it via the OpenSSL parsing functions, and the certificate
- contains non NUL terminated ASN1_STRING structures). It can also occur in the
- X509_get1_email(), X509_REQ_get1_email() and X509_get1_ocsp() functions.
-
- If a malicious actor can cause an application to directly construct an
- ASN1_STRING and then process it through one of the affected OpenSSL functions
- then this issue could be hit. This might result in a crash (causing a Denial of
- Service attack). It could also result in the disclosure of private memory
- contents (such as private keys, or sensitive plaintext).
