SM2 Decryption Buffer Overflow (CVE-2021-3711) Severity: High is 
probably not a huge concern, as not SM2 is not a commonly specified 
cipher suite, except possibly in China; although the Read buffer 
overruns processing ASN.1 strings (CVE-2021-3712) Severity: Moderate is 
fairly serious, as OpenSSL assumes some ASN1 strings with given length 
are also nul terminated when they need not be, allowing DoS and 
disclosures.
