CVE-2024-37305 – Buffer overflow in deserialization in oqs-provider
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-37305
oqs-provider is a provider for the OpenSSL 3 cryptography library that adds support for post-quantum cryptography in TLS, X.509, and S/MIME using post-quantum algorithms from liboqs. Flaws have been identified in the way oqs-provider handles lengths decoded with DECODE_UINT32 at the start of serialized hybrid (traditional + post-quantum) keys and signatures. Unchecked length values are later used for memory reads and writes; malformed input can lead to crashes or information leakage. Handling of plain/non-hybrid PQ key operation is not affected. This issue has been patched in in v0.6.1. • https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/oqs-provider/pull/416 https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/oqs-provider/security/advisories/GHSA-pqvr-5cr8-v6fx • CWE-120: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') CWE-130: Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound CWE-680: Integer Overflow to Buffer Overflow CWE-805: Buffer Access with Incorrect Length Value •
CVE-2024-36405 – Control-flow timing leak in Kyber reference implementation when compiled with Clang 15-18 for -Os, -O1 and other options
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-36405
liboqs is a C-language cryptographic library that provides implementations of post-quantum cryptography algorithms. A control-flow timing lean has been identified in the reference implementation of the Kyber key encapsulation mechanism when it is compiled with Clang 15-18 for `-Os`, `-O1`, and other compilation options. A proof-of-concept local attack on the reference implementation leaks the entire ML-KEM 512 secret key in ~10 minutes using end-to-end decapsulation timing measurements. The issue has been fixed in version 0.10.1. As a possible workaround, some compiler options may produce vectorized code that does not leak secret information, however relying on these compiler options as a workaround may not be reliable. • https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/blob/7eecda6095c003ddded7175a1ffdf35a2ce63ed5/src/kem/kyber/pqcrystals-kyber_kyber512_ref/poly.c#L166 https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/commit/982c762c242ef549c914891b47bf6e0ed6321f91 https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/security/advisories/GHSA-f2v9-5498-2vpp https://github.com/pq-crystals/kyber/commit/9b8d30698a3e7449aeb34e62339d4176f11e3c6c • CWE-208: Observable Timing Discrepancy CWE-385: Covert Timing Channel •
