GHSA-8VXV-2G8P-2249

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 21:33 – Updated: 2022-05-24 21:33

Summary

Observable Timing Discrepancy in totp-rs

Details

Impact

Token comparison was not constant time, and could theorically be used to guess value of an TOTP token, and thus reuse it in the same time window. The attacker would have to know the password beforehand nonetheless.

Patches

Library now used constant-time comparison.

Workarounds

No.

CVE-2022-29185 (GCVE-0-2022-29185)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-05-20 19:30 – Updated: 2025-04-23 18:24

Title

Observable Timing Discrepancy in totp-rs

Summary

totp-rs is a Rust library that permits the creation of 2FA authentification tokens per time-based one-time password (TOTP). Prior to version 1.1.0, token comparison was not constant time, and could theorically be used to guess value of an TOTP token, and thus reuse it in the same time window. The attacker would have to know the password beforehand nonetheless. Starting with patched version 1.1.0, the library uses constant-time comparison. There are currently no known workarounds.

Summary

Timing attack

Details

Affecting versions did not compare tokens in constant time, which could make it possible for an attacker to guess the 2fa token of a user.

This has been fixed by using using the crate constant_time_eq for comparison.
