Call of memcmp with null pointers in obj_cmp()
The function obj_cmp() (file crypto/objects/obj_dat.c) can in some situations call memcmp() with a null pointer and a zero length. This is invalid behaviour. When compiling openssl with undefined behaviour sanitizer (add -fsanitize=undefined to compile flags) this can be seen. One example that triggers this behaviour is the pkcs7 command (but there are others, e.g. I've seen it with the timestamp function): apps/openssl pkcs7 -in test/testp7.pem What happens is that obj_cmp takes objects of the type ASN1_OBJECT and passes their ->data pointer to memcmp. Zero-sized ASN1_OBJECT structures can have a null pointer as data. RT#3816 Signed-off-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Rich Salz <rsalz@openssl.org>
