Tavis posted a followup to my message, where he attached a testcase that
was unfortunately above oss-security's message size limit - so the
message did not make it to the list. I've gzip-compressed the file and
have re-attached it to this message now (it's only 3 KB when compressed).
Tavis' message was:

FWIW, trying these two on OpenSSL 1.0.0d (the Owl package, which
includes some unrelated patches), I get:
x86_64 build:
$ printf "\xe3\x80\x81\x84\xe3\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00" | openssl x509 -inform DER

So no luck triggering a crash on 32-bit, although we must patch the
issue on 32-bit as well. I'm not sure if I am using the larger testcase
correctly, though. I am not familiar with this.
The smaller testcase also triggers a segfault on OpenSSL 0.9.7m (with
unrelated patches) on x86_64. So not surprisingly some versions older
than 0.9.8 are vulnerable as well.
