Fault Injection vulnerability in wced25519signmsg function in wolfssl/wolfcrypt/src/ed25519.c in WolfSSL wolfssl5.6.6 on Linux/Windows allows remote attacker co-resides in the same system with a victim process to disclose information and escalate privileges via Rowhammer fault injection to the ed25519key structure.

The side-channel protected T-Table implementation in wolfSSL up to version 5.6.5 protects against a side-channel attacker with cache-line resolution. In a controlled environment such as Intel SGX, an attacker can gain a per instruction sub-cache-line resolution allowing them to break the cache-line-level protection. For details on the attack refer to: https://doi.org/10.46586/tches.v2024.i1.457-500

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 5.7.0. A safe-error attack via Rowhammer, namely FAULT+PROBE, leads to ECDSA key disclosure. When WOLFSSLCHECKSIGFAULTS is used in signing operations with private ECC keys,

such as in server-side TLS connections, the connection is halted if any fault occurs. The success rate in a certain amount of connection requests can be processed via an advanced technique for ECDSA key recovery.

In wolfSSL prior to 5.6.6, if callback functions are enabled (via the WOLFSSLCALLBACKS flag), then a malicious TLS client or network attacker can trigger a buffer over-read on the heap of 5 bytes (WOLFSSLCALLBACKS is only intended for debugging).

wolfSSL prior to 5.6.6 did not check that messages in one (D)TLS record do not span key boundaries. As a result, it was possible to combine (D)TLS messages using different keys into one (D)TLS record. The most extreme edge case is that, in (D)TLS 1.3, it was possible that an unencrypted (D)TLS 1.3 record from the server containing first a ServerHello message and then the rest of the first server flight would be accepted by a wolfSSL client. In (D)TLS 1.3 the handshake is encrypted after the ServerHello but a wolfSSL client would accept an unencrypted flight from the server. This does not compromise key negotiation and authentication so it is assigned a low severity rating.

wolfSSL SP Math All RSA implementation is vulnerable to the Marvin Attack, new variation of a timing Bleichenbacher style attack, when built with the following options to configure:

--enable-all CFLAGS="-DWOLFSSLSTATICRSA"

The define “WOLFSSLSTATICRSA” enables static RSA cipher suites, which is not recommended, and has been disabled by default since wolfSSL 3.6.6.  Therefore the default build since 3.6.6, even with "--enable-all", is not vulnerable to the Marvin Attack. The vulnerability is specific to static RSA cipher suites, and expected to be padding-independent.

The vulnerability allows an attacker to decrypt ciphertexts and forge signatures after probing with a large number of test observations. However the server’s private key is not exposed.

In wolfSSL before 5.5.1, malicious clients can cause a buffer overflow during a TLS 1.3 handshake. This occurs when an attacker supposedly resumes a previous TLS session. During the resumption Client Hello a Hello Retry Request must be triggered. Both Client Hellos are required to contain a list of duplicate cipher suites to trigger the buffer overflow. In total, two Client Hellos have to be sent: one in the resumed session, and a second one as a response to a Hello Retry Request message.

wolfSSL through 5.0.0 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service and infinite loop in the client component by sending crafted traffic from a Machine-in-the-Middle (MITM) position. The root cause is that the client module accepts TLS messages that normally are only sent to TLS servers.

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 5.5.0 (when --enable-session-ticket is used); however, only version 5.3.0 is exploitable. Man-in-the-middle attackers or a malicious server can crash TLS 1.2 clients during a handshake. If an attacker injects a large ticket (more than 256 bytes) into a NewSessionTicket message in a TLS 1.2 handshake, and the client has a non-empty session cache, the session cache frees a pointer that points to unallocated memory, causing the client to crash with a "free(): invalid pointer" message. NOTE: It is likely that this is also exploitable during TLS 1.3 handshakes between a client and a malicious server. With TLS 1.3, it is not possible to exploit this as a man-in-the-middle.

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 5.5.0. When a TLS 1.3 client connects to a wolfSSL server and SSLclear is called on its session, the server crashes with a segmentation fault. This occurs in the second session, which is created through TLS session resumption and reuses the initial struct WOLFSSL. If the server reuses the previous session structure (struct WOLFSSL) by calling wolfSSLclear(WOLFSSL ssl) on it, the next received Client Hello (that resumes the previous session) crashes the server. Note that this bug is only triggered when resuming sessions using TLS session resumption. Only servers that use wolfSSLclear instead of the recommended SSLfree; SSLnew sequence are affected. Furthermore, wolfSSLclear is part of wolfSSL's compatibility layer and is not enabled by default. It is not part of wolfSSL's native API.

wolfSSL before 5.4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via DTLS because a check for return-routability can be skipped.

In wolfSSL before 5.2.0, a TLS 1.3 server cannot properly enforce a requirement for mutual authentication. A client can simply omit the certificateverify message from the handshake, and never present a certificate.

In wolfSSL before 5.2.0, certificate validation may be bypassed during attempted authentication by a TLS 1.3 client to a TLS 1.3 server. This occurs when the sigalgo field differs between the certificateverify message and the certificate message.

wolfSSL 5.x before 5.1.1 uses non-random IV values in certain situations. This affects connections (without AEAD) using AES-CBC or DES3 with TLS 1.1 or 1.2 or DTLS 1.1 or 1.2. This occurs because of misplaced memory initialization in BuildMessage in internal.c.

wolfSSL wolfMQTT 1.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow (4 bytes) in MqttDecodePublish (called from MqttClientDecodePacket and MqttClientHandlePacket).

wolfSSL wolfMQTT 1.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow (8 bytes) in MqttDecodePublish (called from MqttClientDecodePacket and MqttClientHandlePacket).

wolfSSL wolfMQTT 1.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow in MqttClientDecodePacket (called from MqttClientHandlePacket and MqttClientWaitType).

wolfSSL wolfMQTT 1.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow in MqttDecodeDisconnect (called from MqttClientDecodePacket and MqttClientWaitType).

wolfSSL wolfMQTT 1.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow in MqttClientDecodePacket (called from MqttClientWaitType and MqttClientConnect).

wolfSSL wolfMQTT 1.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow in MqttClientDecodePacket (called from MqttClientWaitType and MqttClientUnsubscribe).

wolfSSL wolfMQTT 1.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow in MqttClientDecodePacket (called from MqttClientWaitType and MqttClientSubscribe).

RsaPadPSS in wolfcrypt/src/rsa.c in wolfSSL before 4.6.0 has an out-of-bounds write for certain relationships between key size and digest size.

wolfSSL before 4.5.0 mishandles TLS 1.3 server data in the WAITCERTCR state, within SanityCheckTls13MsgReceived() in tls13.c. This is an incorrect implementation of the TLS 1.3 client state machine. This allows attackers in a privileged network position to completely impersonate any TLS 1.3 servers, and read or modify potentially sensitive information between clients using the wolfSSL library and these TLS servers.

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 4.5.0, when single precision is not employed. Local attackers can conduct a cache-timing attack against public key operations. These attackers may already have obtained sensitive information if the affected system has been used for private key operations (e.g., signing with a private key).

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 4.5.0. It mishandles the changecipherspec (CCS) message processing logic for TLS 1.3. If an attacker sends ChangeCipherSpec messages in a crafted way involving more than one in a row, the server becomes stuck in the ProcessReply() loop, i.e., a denial of service.

An issue was discovered in the DTLS handshake implementation in wolfSSL before 4.5.0. Clear DTLS applicationdata messages in epoch 0 do not produce an out-of-order error. Instead, these messages are returned to the application.

wolfSSL 4.3.0 has mulmod code in wceccmulmodex in ecc.c that does not properly resist timing side-channel attacks.

wolfSSL CyaSSL before 2.9.4 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via multiple calls to the CyaSSLread function which triggers an out-of-bounds read when an error occurs, related to not checking the return code and MAC verification failure.

The SSL 3 HMAC functionality in wolfSSL CyaSSL 2.5.0 before 2.9.4 does not check the padding length when verification fails, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted HMAC, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
