CVE-2019-1563: Padding Oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey

Published Sep 10, 2019
·
Updated

In situations where an attacker receives automated notification of the success or failure of a decryption attempt an attacker, after sending a very large number of messages to be decrypted, can recover a CMS/PKCS7 transported encryption key or decrypt any RSA encrypted message that was encrypted with the public RSA key, using a Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack. Applications are not affected if they use a certificate together with the private RSA key to the CMSdecrypt or PKCS7decrypt functions to select the correct recipient info to decrypt. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1d (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1c). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.0l (Affected 1.1.0-1.1.0k). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2t (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2s).

Other sources

OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a padding oracle attack in PKCS7dataDecode and CMSdecryptset1pkey. By sending an overly large number of messages to be decrypted, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
