Description

A flaw was found in aws-lc, a cryptographic library. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit improper certificate validation within the PKCS7_verify() function. This allows them to bypass the verification process for certificate chains when handling PKCS7 objects that contain multiple digital signers, except for the last one. The primary consequence is a compromise of integrity, as the system may incorrectly trust unverified certificates.
