FKIE_CVE-2020-12403

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2021-05-27 19:15 - Updated: 2024-11-21 04:59
Severity ?
Summary
A flaw was found in the way CHACHA20-POLY1305 was implemented in NSS in versions before 3.55. When using multi-part Chacha20, it could cause out-of-bounds reads. This issue was fixed by explicitly disabling multi-part ChaCha20 (which was not functioning correctly) and strictly enforcing tag length. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and system availability.
