Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0464)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when verifying X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted certificate to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0465)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when validating certificate policies in leaf certificates. A remote attacker that controls a malicious CA server can issue a certificate that will be validated by the application.


3) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0466)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() function, which does not perform the certificate policy check despite being implicitly enabled. A remote attacker can bypass expected security restrictions and perform MitM attack.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1255)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit ARM platform. An attacker with ability to control the size and location of the ciphertext buffer can trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the application.

5) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2650)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing OCSP, PKCS7/SMIME, CMS, CMP/CRMF or TS subsystems with no message size limit. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
