Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains one low risk vulnerability.

1) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU98757

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9143

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when using the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, the vulnerability can be exploited against the application in rare cases only that involve "exotic" curve encoding.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
