CVE-2016-2182 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in OpenSSL's BN_bn2dec() decimal-conversion function. In vulnerable releases, BN_bn2dec() fails to check an error return from BN_div_word(). When processing an excessively large BIGNUM, this failure can leave an internal value unreduced and cause writes beyond the bn_data buffer. The issue affects OpenSSL releases before 1.1.0, including affected 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 releases.
