cryptography@41.0.3 vulnerabilities

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion') due to the session cache entering an incorrect state and failing to flush properly as it fills, leading to uncontrolled memory consumption. This condition is triggered under certain server configurations when processing TLSv1.3 sessions. Specifically, this occurs if the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option is enabled, but not if early_data support is configured along with the default anti-replay protection. A malicious client could deliberately create this scenario to force a service disruption. It may also occur accidentally in normal operation.

Note:

This issue is only exploitable if the server supports TLSv1.3 and is configured with the SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option enabled.

Upgrade cryptography to version 42.0.6 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference in the pkcs12.serialize_key_and_certificates function. An attacker can crash the Python process.

Note: This is only exploitable if the vulnerable function is called with both:

1. A certificate whose public key does not match the provided private key.

2. An encryption_algorithm with hmac_hash set via PrivateFormat.PKCS12.encryption_builder().hmac_hash(...).

Upgrade cryptography to version 42.0.4 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference when processing a maliciously formatted PKCS12 file. The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of optional ContentInfo fields, which can be set to null. An attacker can cause a denial of service by sending crafted input that leads to applications loading files in PKCS12 format from untrusted sources to terminate abruptly.

Upgrade cryptography to version 42.0.2 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Exhaustion via the EVP_PKEY_public_check function. When the function is called in RSA public keys, a computation is done to confirm that the RSA modulus, n, is composite. For valid RSA keys, n is a product of two or more large primes and this computation completes quickly. However, if n is a large prime, this computation takes a long time. An attacker can cause a denial of service by supplying a specially crafted RSA key that triggers extensive computation.

Upgrade cryptography to version 42.0.2 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm due to an issue in the POLY1305 MAC implementation on PowerPC CPUs. An attacker can corrupt the application state and cause incorrect calculations or potential denial of service by influencing the use of the POLY1305 MAC algorithm.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the attacker has the ability to affect the algorithm's usage and the application relies on non-volatile XMM registers.

Upgrade cryptography to version 42.0.2 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Observable Timing Discrepancy. This issue may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data (Marvin).

Note:

This vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-25659.

Upgrade cryptography to version 42.0.0 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference when loading PKCS7 certificates. An attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by attempting to deserialize a PKCS7 blob/certificate.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the load_pem_pkcs7_certificates or load_der_pkcs7_certificates functions are called.

Upgrade cryptography to version 41.0.6 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) when the DH_generate_key(), DH_check_pub_key(), DH_check_pub_key_ex(), EVP_PKEY_public_check(), and EVP_PKEY_generate() functions are used. An attacker can cause long delays and potentially a Denial of Service by supplying excessively long X9.42 DH keys or parameters obtained from an untrusted source.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the application uses these functions to generate or check an X9.42 DH key or parameters. Also, the OpenSSL pkey command line application, when using the -pubcheck option, as well as the OpenSSL genpkey command line application, are vulnerable to this issue.

Upgrade cryptography to version 42.0.0 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Cryptographic Step when the EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() or EVP_CipherInit_ex2() functions are used. An attacker can cause truncation or overreading of key and initialization vector (IV) lengths by altering the "keylen" or "ivlen" parameters within the OSSL_PARAM array after the key and IV have been established. This can lead to potential truncation or overruns during the initialization of some symmetric ciphers, such as RC2, RC4, RC5, CCM, GCM, and OCB. A truncation in the IV can result in non-uniqueness, which could result in loss of confidentiality for some cipher modes.

Both truncations and overruns of the key and the IV will produce incorrect results and could, in some cases, trigger a memory exception.

Upgrade cryptography to version 41.0.5 or higher.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation might corrupt the internal state of applications on the Windows 64 platform when running on newer X86_64 processors supporting AVX512-IFMA instructions. If an attacker can influence whether the POLY1305 MAC algorithm is used in an application, the application state might be corrupted with various application dependent consequences, the most likely of which being denial of service. The maintainers are currently not aware of any concrete application that would be affected by this issue.

NOTES:

This vulnerability is only exploitable on Windows.

The FIPS provider is not affected by this issue.

Upgrade cryptography to version 41.0.4 or higher.
