Описание

Issue summary: ChaCha20-Poly1305 and AES-OCB decryption with an empty ciphertext can report success without verifying the supplied authentication tag when the operation is finalized by calling the EVP_Cipher() function. Impact summary: Applications calling EVP_Cipher() on an empty ciphertext and expecting the call to check the AEAD tag may accept forged messages. CWE: CWE-354 (Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value) Description: The EVP_Cipher() API call for AEAD ciphers behaves like a one shot encryption and decryption call. It also verifies the AEAD tag after the decryption operation. However for AES-OCB and ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphers it skipped the AEAD tag verification when an empty ciphertext was passed to the function. The callers of this function might believe that a successful return indicates a valid AEAD tag for these ciphers, even when that has not truly been validated in this case. FIPS impact: no The FIPS modules in 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, and 3.0 are not affected by this CVE as the affected algorithms are not FIPS approved and thus not implemented in the FIPS module.

A flaw was found in openssl. Applications using the EVP_Cipher() function for Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) ciphers, such as ChaCha20-Poly1305 and AES-OCB, may incorrectly validate message integrity. When an empty ciphertext is processed, the EVP_Cipher() function can report successful decryption without verifying the authentication tag. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to forge messages that appear legitimate to the application, potentially leading to data integrity issues.

Отчет

A Moderate impact flaw in openssl allows remote attackers to forge messages in applications that use the EVP_Cipher() function with ChaCha20-Poly1305 or AES-OCB ciphers. This occurs when an empty ciphertext is processed, as the function may incorrectly report successful decryption without validating the authentication tag, potentially compromising data integrity. Red Hat's FIPS modules are not affected.
