Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the AES-CFB-128 process on x86-64 systems with AVX-512 and VAES support when processing partial cipher blocks. An attacker can cause a crash and application termination by providing input buffers that end at a memory page boundary with the following page unmapped.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the input buffer is positioned at a page boundary and the subsequent page is unmapped, and only when processing partial blocks.
