Summary

Cipher.update_into can corrupt memory if passed an immutable python object as the outbuf

Details

Previously, Cipher.update_into would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers:

```pycon

outbuf = b"\x00" * 32 c = ciphers.Cipher(AES(b"\x00" * 32), modes.ECB()).encryptor() c.update_into(b"\x00" * 16, outbuf) 16 outbuf b'\xdc\x95\xc0x\xa2@\x89\x89\xadH\xa2\x14\x92\x84 \x87\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' ```

This would allow immutable objects (such as bytes) to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python. This is a soundness bug -- it allows programmers to misuse an API, it cannot be exploited by attacker controlled data alone.

This now correctly raises an exception.

This issue has been present since update_into was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Details

cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. In affected versions Cipher.update_into would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as bytes) to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This now correctly raises an exception. This issue has been present since update_into was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.
