           Summary: CVE-2026-58101 perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-X509:
                    Crypt::OpenSSL::X509: Denial of Service due to NULL
                    pointer dereference [epel-all]
           Product: Fedora EPEL

Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on
a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw
indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Crypt::OpenSSL::X509 versions before 2.1.3 for Perl allow denial of service via
NULL pointer dereference.

X509V3_EXT_d2i(ext) returns NULL when an extension's DER value fails to parse.
basicC, ia5string, and auth_att dereference its result without a NULL check.
keyid_data also dereferences akid->keyid, which is NULL for an empty AKI
SEQUENCE (DER 30 00) even when the parse succeeds.

A caller invoking an affected helper on an extension from an untrusted
certificate triggers a SIGSEGV that crashes the Perl process.
