Affected: OpenSSL

Issue summary: The AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit ARM platform contains a bug that could cause it to read past the input buffer, leading to a crash.

Impact summary: Applications that use the AES-XTS algorithm on the 64 bit ARM platform can crash in rare circumstances. The AES-XTS algorithm is usually used for disk encryption.

The AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit ARM platform will read past the end of the ciphertext buffer if the ciphertext size is 4 mod 5 in 16 byte blocks, e.g. 144 bytes or 1024 bytes. If the memory after the ciphertext buffer is unmapped, this will trigger a crash which results in a denial of service.

If an attacker can control the size and location of the ciphertext buffer being decrypted by an application using AES-XTS on 64 bit ARM, the application is affected. This is fairly unlikely making this issue a Low severity one.

Affected: Ubuntu:18.04:LTS: openssl, Ubuntu:18.04:LTS: openssl1.0, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: openssl, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: openssl

Matt Caswell discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain ASN.1 object identifiers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2650)

Anton Romanov discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled AES-XTS cipher decryption on 64-bit ARM platforms. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.10, and Ubuntu 23.04. (CVE-2023-1255)
