The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing CMS AuthEnvelopedData structures that use AEAD ciphers such as AES-GCM, the IV (Initialization Vector) encoded in the ASN.1 parameters. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted CMS message with an oversized IV, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
