ssl sigalg extension: fix NULL pointer dereference
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As the variable peer_sigalgslen is not cleared on ssl rehandshake, it's
possible to crash an openssl tls secured server remotely by sending a
manipulated hello message in a rehandshake.

On such a manipulated rehandshake, tls1_set_shared_sigalgs() calls
tls12_shared_sigalgs() with the peer_sigalgslen of the previous
handshake, while the peer_sigalgs has been freed.
As a result tls12_shared_sigalgs() walks over the available
peer_sigalgs and tries to access data of a NULL pointer.

This issue was introduced by c589c34 (Add support for the TLS 1.3
signature_algorithms_cert extension, 2018-01-11).
