Issue summary: Parsing CMS AuthEnvelopedData or EnvelopedData message with maliciously crafted AEAD parameters can trigger a stack buffer overflow. Impact summary: A stack buffer overflow may lead to a crash, causing Denial of Service, or potentially remote code execution. When parsing CMS (Auth)EnvelopedData structures that use AEAD ciphers such as AES-GCM, the IV (Initialization Vector) encoded in the ASN.1 parameters is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without verifying that its length fits the destination. An attacker can supply a crafted CMS message with an oversized IV, causing a stack-based out-of-bounds write before any authentication or tag verification occurs. Applications and services that parse untrusted CMS or PKCS#7 content using AEAD ciphers (e.g., S/MIME (Auth)EnvelopedData with AES-GCM) are vulnerable. Because the overflow occurs prior to authentication, no valid key material is required to trigger it. While exploitability to remote code execution depends on platform and toolchain mitigations, the stack-based write primitive represents a severe risk. The FIPS modules in 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the CMS implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.0 are vulnerable to this issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are not affected by this issue.

Summary
  • (es) Resumen del problema: Analizar un mensaje CMS AuthEnvelopedData con parámetros AEAD creados maliciosamente puede desencadenar un desbordamiento de búfer de pila. Resumen del impacto: Un desbordamiento de búfer de pila puede provocar un fallo, causando Denegación de Servicio, o potencialmente ejecución remota de código. Al analizar estructuras CMS AuthEnvelopedData que utilizan cifrados AEAD como AES-GCM, el IV (Vector de Inicialización) codificado en los parámetros ASN.1 se copia en un búfer de pila de tamaño fijo sin verificar que su longitud se ajuste al destino. Un atacante puede proporcionar un mensaje CMS manipulado con un IV de tamaño excesivo, causando una escritura fuera de límites basada en pila antes de que ocurra cualquier autenticación o verificación de etiqueta. Las aplicaciones y servicios que analizan contenido CMS o PKCS#7 no confiable utilizando cifrados AEAD (por ejemplo, S/MIME AuthEnvelopedData con AES-GCM) son vulnerables. Debido a que el desbordamiento ocurre antes de la autenticación, no se requiere material de clave válido para desencadenarlo. Si bien la explotabilidad para la ejecución remota de código depende de las mitigaciones de la plataforma y la cadena de herramientas, la primitiva de escritura basada en pila representa un riesgo grave. Los módulos FIPS en 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 y 3.0 no se ven afectados por este problema, ya que la implementación de CMS está fuera del límite del módulo FIPS de OpenSSL. OpenSSL 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 y 3.0 son vulnerables a este problema. OpenSSL 1.1.1 y 1.0.2 no se ven afectados por este problema.
