Cuando la clave o los par\u00e1metros que se est\u00e1n verificando se obtuvieron de una fuente que no es confiable, esto puede dar lugar a una Denegaci\u00f3n de Servicio. Las funciones EVP_PKEY_param_check() o EVP_PKEY_public_check() realizan varias comprobaciones de los par\u00e1metros DSA. Algunos de esos c\u00e1lculos toman mucho tiempo si el m\u00f3dulo (par\u00e1metro `p`) es demasiado grande. Intentar utilizar un m\u00f3dulo muy grande es lento y OpenSSL no permitir\u00e1 el uso de claves p\u00fablicas con un m\u00f3dulo de m\u00e1s de 10.000 bits de longitud para la verificaci\u00f3n de firmas. Sin embargo, las funciones de verificaci\u00f3n de claves y par\u00e1metros no limitan el tama\u00f1o del m\u00f3dulo al realizar las verificaciones. Una aplicaci\u00f3n que llama a EVP_PKEY_param_check() o EVP_PKEY_public_check() y proporciona una clave o par\u00e1metros obtenidos de una fuente que no es de confianza podr\u00eda ser vulnerable a un ataque de denegaci\u00f3n de servicio. OpenSSL no llama a estas funciones en claves DSA que no son de confianza, por lo que solo las aplicaciones que llaman directamente a estas funciones pueden ser vulnerables. Tambi\u00e9n son vulnerables las aplicaciones de l\u00ednea de comandos OpenSSL pkey y pkeyparam cuando se usa la opci\u00f3n `-check`. La implementaci\u00f3n de OpenSSL SSL/TLS no se ve afectada por este problema. Los proveedores FIPS OpenSSL 3.0 y 3.1 se ven afectados por este problema.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"baseScore\":5.3,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":1.4}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-606\"}]},{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-834\"}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/3559e868e58005d15c6013a0c1fd832e51c73397\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\"},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/53ea06486d296b890d565fb971b2764fcd826e7e\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\"},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/9c39b3858091c152f52513c066ff2c5a47969f0d\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\"},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/da343d0605c826ef197aceedc67e8e04f065f740\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\"},{\"url\":\"https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20240516.txt\",\"source\":\"openssl-security@openssl.org\"}]}}"
