CWE-326  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 php7.4 to version 7.4.3-4ubuntu2.4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php7.4 package and not the php7.4 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

In PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.34, 7.3.x below 7.3.23 and 7.4.x below 7.4.11, when AES-CCM mode is used with openssl_encrypt() function with 12 bytes IV, only first 7 bytes of the IV is actually used. This can lead to both decreased security and incorrect encryption data.
