The problem appears only in applications that use the SSL_check_chain() function, and leads to a process crash if the "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension is incorrectly used. In particular, when an unsupported or invalid value of the digital signature processing algorithm is received during the connection negotiation process, a null pointer dereference occurs and the process crashes. The problem has been present since the release of OpenSSL 1.1.1d.
