Esto puede provocar posibles truncamientos o desbordamientos durante la inicializaci\u00f3n de algunos cifrados sim\u00e9tricos. Resumen de impacto: un truncamiento en el IV puede dar como resultado una falta de unicidad, lo que podr\u00eda resultar en la p\u00e9rdida de confidencialidad para algunos modos de cifrado. Al llamar a EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() or EVP_CipherInit_ex2(), la matriz OSSL_PARAM proporcionada se procesa despu\u00e9s de que se hayan establecido la clave y el IV. Cualquier modificaci\u00f3n en la longitud de la clave, a trav\u00e9s del par\u00e1metro \\\"keylen\\\" o la longitud del IV, a trav\u00e9s del par\u00e1metro \\\"ivlen\\\", dentro de la matriz OSSL_PARAM no tendr\u00e1 efecto seg\u00fan lo previsto, lo que podr\u00eda provocar el truncamiento o la sobrelectura de estos valores. Los siguientes cifrados y modos de cifrado se ven afectados: RC2, RC4, RC5, CCM, GCM y OCB. Para los modos de cifrado CCM, GCM y OCB, el truncamiento del IV puede provocar una p\u00e9rdida de confidencialidad. Por ejemplo, al seguir la gu\u00eda de la secci\u00f3n 8.2.1 SP 800-38D del NIST para construir un IV determinista para AES en modo GCM, el truncamiento de la parte del contador podr\u00eda llevar a la reutilizaci\u00f3n del IV. Tanto los truncamientos como los desbordamientos de la clave y del IV producir\u00e1n resultados incorrectos y, en algunos casos, podr\u00edan desencadenar una excepci\u00f3n de memoria. Sin embargo, actualmente estos problemas no se consideran cr\u00edticos para la seguridad. Cambiar la clave y/o las longitudes de IV no se considera una operaci\u00f3n com\u00fan y la API vulnerable se introdujo recientemente. Adem\u00e1s, es probable que los desarrolladores de aplicaciones hayan detectado este problema durante las pruebas, ya que el descifrado fallar\u00eda a menos que ambos interlocutores en la comunicaci\u00f3n fueran igualmente vulnerables. Por estas razones, esperamos que la probabilidad de que una aplicaci\u00f3n sea vulnerable a esto sea bastante baja. Sin embargo, si una aplicaci\u00f3n es vulnerable, el problema se considera muy grave. Por estos motivos, hemos evaluado este problema como de gravedad moderada en general. La implementaci\u00f3n de OpenSSL SSL/TLS no se ve afectada por este problema. Los proveedores FIPS OpenSSL 3.0 y 3.1 no se ven afectados por esto porque el problema se encuentra fuera de los l\u00edmites del proveedor FIPS.
