[redirected from patches (Cygwin DLL etc.) to apps (Packages)]
SM2 Decryption Buffer Overflow (CVE-2021-3711) Severity: High is
probably not a huge concern, as not SM2 is not a commonly specified
cipher suite, except possibly in China; although the Read buffer
overruns processing ASN.1 strings (CVE-2021-3712) Severity: Moderate is
fairly serious, as OpenSSL assumes some ASN1 strings with given length
are also nul terminated when they need not be, allowing DoS and
disclosures.
