Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.104696
Category:Denial of Service
Title:OpenSSL 3.0 <= 3.0.8, 3.1.0 DoS Vulnerability
Summary:OpenSSL is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
OpenSSL is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit ARM
platform contains a bug that could cause it to read past the input buffer, leading to a crash.

Vulnerability Impact:
Applications that use the AES-XTS algorithm on the 64 bit ARM
platform can crash in rare circumstances. The AES-XTS algorithm is usually used for disk
encryption.

The AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit ARM platform will read past the end of the
ciphertext buffer if the ciphertext size is 4 mod 5 in 16 byte blocks, e.g. 144 bytes or 1024
bytes. If the memory after the ciphertext buffer is unmapped, this will trigger a crash which
results in a denial of service.

If an attacker can control the size and location of the ciphertext buffer being decrypted by an
application using AES-XTS on 64 bit ARM, the application is affected. This is fairly unlikely
making this issue a Low severity one.

Affected Software/OS:
OpenSSL versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.8 and 3.1.0 on 64 bit ARM
platforms.

Solution:
Update to version 3.0.9, 3.1.1 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.4
