CVE-2022-2274

The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions. This issue makes the RSA implementation with 2048 bit private keys incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will happen during the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker may be able to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing the computation. SSL/TLS servers or other servers using 2048 bit RSA private keys running on machines supporting AVX512IFMA instructions of the X86_64 architecture are affected by this issue.

This vulnerability was introduced in OpenSSL 3.0.4 via upstream commit 10d8a10. The versions of OpenSSL as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not affected by this flaw, as they did not backport the upstream commit that introduced this issue.
