Subject: CVE Request: AWS s2n


Hi,

I would like to request a CVE for s2n.

When a server is sending invalid DH values during a handshake a BIGNUM
value is not properly initialized. This causes a null pointer
dereference in a s2n based client leading to a crash or possible worse
on old systems (e.g. on Debian kernels lower than 2.6.26).

Technical details and a patch are available here:

https://github.com/awslabs/s2n/pull/124

The fix was merged and is in commit
9af6ba1815dfd5c00361cc3bd45cee1d64e0c3bf.

Markus
