Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-07 22:16 - Updated: 2026-07-24 23:10
Severity
7.5 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
9.1 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
9.1 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
Summary
Issue summary: Applications using AES-CFB128 encryption or decryption on
systems with AVX-512 and VAES support can trigger an out-of-bounds read
of up to 15 bytes when processing partial cipher blocks.
Impact summary: This out-of-bounds read may trigger a crash which leads to
Denial of Service for an application if the input buffer ends at a memory
page boundary and the following page is unmapped. There is no information
disclosure as the over-read bytes are not written to output.
The vulnerable code path is only reached when processing partial blocks
(when a previous call left an incomplete block and the current call provides
fewer bytes than needed to complete it). Additionally, the input buffer
must be positioned at a page boundary with the following page unmapped.
CFB mode is not used in TLS/DTLS protocols, which use CBC, GCM, CCM, or
ChaCha20-Poly1305 instead. For these reasons the issue was assessed as
Low severity according to our Security Policy.
Only x86-64 systems with AVX-512 and VAES instruction support are affected.
Other architectures and systems without VAES support use different code
paths that are not affected.
OpenSSL FIPS module in 3.6 version is affected by this issue.

"value": "Resumen del problema: Las aplicaciones que usan cifrado o descifrado AES-CFB128 en sistemas con soporte para AVX-512 y VAES pueden desencadenar una lectura fuera de l\u00edmites de hasta 15 bytes al procesar bloques de cifrado parciales.\n\nResumen del impacto: Esta lectura fuera de l\u00edmites puede desencadenar un fallo que lleva a la denegaci\u00f3n de servicio para una aplicaci\u00f3n si el b\u00fafer de entrada termina en un l\u00edmite de p\u00e1gina de memoria y la p\u00e1gina siguiente no est\u00e1 mapeada. No hay divulgaci\u00f3n de informaci\u00f3n ya que los bytes le\u00eddos en exceso no se escriben en la salida.\n\nLa ruta de c\u00f3digo vulnerable solo se alcanza al procesar bloques parciales (cuando una llamada anterior dej\u00f3 un bloque incompleto y la llamada actual proporciona menos bytes de los necesarios para completarlo). Adem\u00e1s, el b\u00fafer de entrada debe estar posicionado en un l\u00edmite de p\u00e1gina con la p\u00e1gina siguiente sin mapear. El modo CFB no se usa en los protocolos TLS/DTLS, que usan CBC, GCM, CCM o ChaCha20-Poly1305 en su lugar. Por estas razones, el problema fue evaluado como de severidad Baja seg\u00fan nuestra Pol\u00edtica de Seguridad.\n\nSolo los sistemas x86-64 con soporte para instrucciones AVX-512 y VAES est\u00e1n afectados. Otras arquitecturas y sistemas sin soporte VAES usan rutas de c\u00f3digo diferentes que no est\u00e1n afectadas.\n\nEl m\u00f3dulo OpenSSL FIPS en la versi\u00f3n 3.6 est\u00e1 afectado por este problema."
