Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libcrypt-openssl-pkcs12-perl.

CVE-2026-17510[0]:
| Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 versions before 1.98 for Perl allow a NULL
| pointer dereference in print_attribute via a zero length BMPSTRING
| attribute.  print_attribute() sizes the destination buffer for a
| BMPSTRING attribute from its declared byte length with
| `Renew(*attribute, length, char)`. A zero length attribute makes
| that a zero size reallocation, which Perl implements as a free
| returning NULL, so the buffer pointer becomes NULL, the following
| `strncpy` copies nothing, and the caller dereferences NULL in the
| `strlen()` it passes to `newSVpvn()`. A zero length BMPSTRING is
| even length, so the ASN.1 decoder accepts it and the value reaches
| this code. The UTF8STRING, OCTET STRING and BIT STRING arms size on
| `length + 1` or `length * 4 + 1` and are unaffected.  Any caller
| that passes an untrusted PKCS#12 file to info_as_hash() can crash
| the process. info() prints attribute values directly without sizing
| a buffer and is unaffected.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
