Details
Issue summary: The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation contains a bug that might corrupt the internal state of applications running on PowerPC CPU based platforms if the CPU provides vector instructions. Impact summary: If an attacker can influence whether the POLY1305 MAC algorithm is used, the application state might be corrupted with various application dependent consequences. The POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation in OpenSSL for PowerPC CPUs restores the contents of vector registers in a different order than they are saved. Thus the contents of some of these vector registers are corrupted when returning to the caller. The vulnerable code is used only on newer PowerPC processors supporting the PowerISA 2.07 instructions. The consequences of this kind of internal application state corruption can be various - from no consequences, if the calling application does not depend on the contents of non-volatile XMM registers at all, to the worst consequences, where the attacker could get complete control of the application process. However unless the compiler uses the vector registers for storing pointers, the most likely consequence, if any, would be an incorrect result of some application dependent calculations or a crash leading to a denial of service. The POLY1305 MAC algorithm is most frequently used as part of the CHACHA20-POLY1305 AEAD (authenticated encryption with associated data) algorithm. The most common usage of this AEAD cipher is with TLS protocol versions 1.2 and 1.3. If this cipher is enabled on the server a malicious client can influence whether this AEAD cipher is used. This implies that TLS server applications using OpenSSL can be potentially impacted. However we are currently not aware of any concrete application that would be affected by this issue therefore we consider this a Low severity security issue.

Resumen del impacto: si un atacante puede influir en el uso del algoritmo MAC POLY1305, el estado de la aplicaci\u00f3n podr\u00eda corromperse con varias consecuencias dependientes de la aplicaci\u00f3n. La implementaci\u00f3n POLY1305 MAC (c\u00f3digo de autenticaci\u00f3n de mensajes) en OpenSSL para CPU PowerPC restaura el contenido de los registros vectoriales en un orden diferente al que se guardan. Por lo tanto, el contenido de algunos de estos registros vectoriales se corrompe cuando regresa al llamante. El c\u00f3digo vulnerable se utiliza s\u00f3lo en procesadores PowerPC m\u00e1s nuevos que admiten las instrucciones PowerISA 2.07. Las consecuencias de este tipo de corrupci\u00f3n del estado de la aplicaci\u00f3n interna pueden ser diversas: desde ninguna consecuencia, si la aplicaci\u00f3n que llama no depende en absoluto del contenido de los registros XMM no vol\u00e1tiles, hasta las peores consecuencias, donde el atacante podr\u00eda obtener el control total de el proceso de solicitud. Sin embargo, a menos que el compilador utilice registros vectoriales para almacenar punteros, la consecuencia m\u00e1s probable, si la hubiera, ser\u00eda un resultado incorrecto de algunos c\u00e1lculos dependientes de la aplicaci\u00f3n o una falla que provocar\u00eda una denegaci\u00f3n de servicio. El algoritmo POLY1305 MAC se utiliza con mayor frecuencia como parte del algoritmo CHACHA20-POLY1305 AEAD (cifrado autenticado con datos asociados). El uso m\u00e1s com\u00fan de este cifrado AEAD es con las versiones 1.2 y 1.3 del protocolo TLS. Si este cifrado est\u00e1 habilitado en el servidor, un cliente malicioso puede influir en si se utiliza este cifrado AEAD. Esto implica que las aplicaciones del servidor TLS que utilizan OpenSSL pueden verse potencialmente afectadas. Sin embargo, actualmente no conocemos ninguna aplicaci\u00f3n concreta que pueda verse afectada por este problema, por lo que lo consideramos un problema de seguridad de gravedad baja."
