Overview

github.com/golang-fips/openssl/v2 is a package for Go bindings into the OpenSSL library for FIPS compliance.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Variable which allows an attacker to:

  1. Cause a zeroed buffer to be returned in FIPS mode.

  2. Force a false positive match when comparing non-equal hashes by using a zeroed buffer.

  3. Generate a derived key of all zeros, potentially impacting the Go TLS stack.
