CVE-2022-38152
Discription

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 5.5.0. When a TLS 1.3 client
connects to a wolfSSL server and SSL_clear is called on its session, the
server crashes with a segmentation fault. This occurs in the second
session, which is created through TLS session resumption and reuses the
initial struct WOLFSSL. If the server reuses the previous session structure
(struct WOLFSSL) by calling wolfSSL_clear(WOLFSSL* ssl) on it, the next
received Client Hello (that resumes the previous session) crashes the
server. Note that this bug is only triggered when resuming sessions using
TLS session resumption. Only servers that use wolfSSL_clear instead of the
recommended SSL_free; SSL_new sequence are affected. Furthermore,
wolfSSL_clear is part of wolfSSL’s compatibility layer and is not enabled
by default. It is not part of wolfSSL’s native API.Read More
