Issue summary: A TLS server that calls SSL_set_SSL_CTX() to switch a
\nconnection to a different SSL_CTX part way through a handshake may access
\nmemory beyond the end of an internal array if the replacement context knows
\nabout more provider signature algorithms than the context the connection was
\ncreated from. Applications which never call SSL_set_SSL_CTX() are not
\naffected.<\/p>\n
Impact summary: A remote peer may be able to cause a small out-of-bounds
\nread, and in some circumstances a fixed-value out-of-bounds write, on the
\nserver heap. This may lead to a Denial of Service.<\/p>\n
CWE: CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write<\/p>\n
Description: A TLS connection records how many certificate slots it has
\nwhen it is created, taken from the SSL_CTX that created it: the built-in
\ncertificate types plus one slot for each provider TLS-SIGALG entry that
\ncontext was aware of. That count sizes an internal array of per-slot
\ncertificate validity flags.<\/p>\n
An application may replace a connection’s SSL_CTX part way through the
\nhandshake by calling SSL_set_SSL_CTX(), most commonly from a servername
\ncallback in order to serve a different virtual host. Doing so did not
\nrefresh the recorded count. A provider signature algorithm’s slot index is
\nits position in the list of whichever context resolves it, so if the
\nreplacement context is aware of more of them than the original, an
\nalgorithm offered by the peer can resolve to an index beyond the end of the
\narray. Processing the peer’s signature algorithms then reads one four byte
\nword past the end for each such algorithm and, where the word read is zero,
\nwrites a fixed value over it. A peer offering many of them can corrupt heap
\nmetadata and abort the process.<\/p>\n
Only provider signature algorithms which occupy one of the excess slots,
\nand which the server also has configured, have this effect. Codepoints the
\nreplacement context does not recognise are discarded without being resolved
\nto a slot, and provider signature algorithms are usable only from TLS 1.3.<\/p>\n
The two contexts must therefore be aware of different numbers of provider
\nsignature algorithms, which requires separate library contexts, a provider
\nloaded between the two being created, or providers which differ in what
\nthey advertise – in 4.0, for example, the default provider advertises SM2
\nwhere the FIPS provider does not. A deployment meeting the condition is
\nalso unable to negotiate the affected algorithms with legitimate clients,
\nsince the same stale count hides the corresponding certificates, so the
\nmisconfiguration is likely to be noticed. For that reason, and because the
\nconfiguration is not the default, this issue has been assessed as Low
\nseverity.<\/p>\n
FIPS impact: no
\nNo FIPS modules are affected by this issue as the affected code is outside
\nthe OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
