Summary
RSA-PSS signature validation vulnerability by prepending zeros in jsrsasign
Details

Impact

Jsrsasign can verify RSA-PSS signature which value can expressed as BigInteger. When there is a valid RSA-PSS signature value, this vulnerability is also accept value with prepending zeros as a valid signature.

  • If you are not use RSA-PSS signature validation, this vulnerability is not affected.
  • Risk to accept a forged or crafted message to be signed is low.
  • Risk to raise memory corruption is low since jsrsasign uses BigInteger class.

Patches

Users using RSA-PSS signature validation should upgrade to 8.0.17.

Workarounds

Reject RSA-PSS signatures with unnecessary prepending zeros.
