Title:OpenSSL Vector Register Corruption Vulnerability (20240109)
Summary:OpenSSL is prone to a vector register corruption; vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
OpenSSL is prone to a vector register corruption
vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation
contains a bug that might corrupt the internal state of applications running on PowerPC CPU based
platforms if the CPU provides vector instructions.

Vulnerability Impact:
If an attacker can influence whether the POLY1305 MAC algorithm
is used, the application state might be corrupted with various application dependent
consequences.

Affected Software/OS:
OpenSSL versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 on PowerPC CPU based
platforms if the CPU provides vector instructions.

Solution:
Update to version 3.0.13, 3.1.5, 3.2.1 or later.

CVSS Score:
6.1

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:C
