CVE Name: CVE-2021-3711, CVE-2021-3712
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I. Background
FreeBSD includes software from the OpenSSL Project. The OpenSSL Project is a
collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured
Open Source toolkit for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. It is
also a general-purpose cryptography library.
II. Problem Description
There are two issues fixed in this security advisory:
A bug in the SM2 decryption implementation incorrectly calculates a buffer
needed to hold the plaintext leading to a potential buffer overflow.
[CVE-2021-3711]
ASN1_STRING structures directly constructed, instead of using library
functions, may not be NULL-terminated resulting in library functions causing
a read buffer overrun. [CVE-2021-3712]
III. Impact
Specially crafted decrypted SM2 content could cause attacker chosen data to
overflow the buffer changing application behavior or causing the application
to crash. [CVE-2021-3711]
A specially crafted malicious string can cause an application that directly
constructs the ASN1_STRING structure to crash or disclose memory contents.
[CVE-2021-3712]
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available.
V. Solution
Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
Perform one of the following:
1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64, i386, or
(on FreeBSD 13 and later) arm64 platforms can be updated via the
freebsd-update(8) utility:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
[FreeBSD 13.0]
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:16/openssl.13.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:16/openssl.13.patch.asc
# gpg --verify openssl.13.patch.asc
[FreeBSD 12.2]
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:16/openssl.12.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:16/openssl.12.patch.asc
# gpg --verify openssl.12.patch.asc
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as
described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.
Restart all daemons that use the library, or reboot the system.
VI. Correction details
This issue is corrected by the corresponding Git commit hash or Subversion
revision number in the following stable and release branches:
Branch/path Hash Revision
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
stable/13/ 9d31ae318711 stable/13-n246940
releng/13.0/ 2261c814b7fa releng/13.0-n244759
stable/12/ r370385
releng/12.2/ r370396
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
For FreeBSD 13 and later:
Run the following command to see which files were modified by a
particular commit:
# git show --stat <commit hash>
Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the hash:
<URL:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=NNNNNN>
To determine the commit count in a working tree (for comparison against
nNNNNNN in the table above), run:
# git rev-list --count --first-parent HEAD
For FreeBSD 12 and earlier:
Run the following command to see which files were modified by a particular
revision, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number:
# svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base
Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number:
<URL:https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=NNNNNN>

Was reading the original advisory at https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20210824.txt and it says "OpenSSL versions 1.0.2y and below are affected by this [CVE-2021-3712] issue." Does it not then impact RELENG11 ? % openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.2u-freebsd? 20 Dec 2019 I know RELENG_11 support ends in about a month, but should it not be flagged ? ??? ---Mike
