Thus the contents of some of these vector + registers is corrupted when returning to the caller. The vulnerable code is + used only on newer PowerPC processors supporting the PowerISA 2.07 + instructions. + + The consequences of this kind of internal application state corruption can + be various - from no consequences, if the calling application does not + depend on the contents of non-volatile XMM registers at all, to the worst + consequences, where the attacker could get complete control of the + application process. However unless the compiler uses the vector registers + for storing pointers, the most likely consequence, if any, would be an + incorrect result of some application dependent calculations or a crash + leading to a denial of service. + + ([CVE-2023-6129]) + + *Rohan McLure* + * Disable building QUIC server utility when OpenSSL is configured with `no-apps`. @@ -20380,6 +20400,7 @@ ndif <!-- Links --> +[CVE-2023-6129]: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#CVE-2023-6129 [CVE-2023-5678]: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#CVE-2023-5678 [CVE-2023-5363]: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#CVE-2023-5363 [CVE-2023-4807]: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#CVE-2023-4807 @@ -31,7 +31,9 @@ OpenSSL 3.2 ### Major changes between OpenSSL 3.2.0 and OpenSSL 3.2.1 [under development] - * none + * Fix POLY1305 MAC implementation corrupting vector registers on PowerPC + CPUs which support PowerISA 2.07 + ([CVE-2023-6129]) ### Major changes between OpenSSL 3.1 and OpenSSL 3.2.0 [23 Nov 2023] @@ -1580,6 +1582,7 @@ OpenSSL 0.9.x <!-- Links --> +[CVE-2023-6129]: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#CVE-2023-6129 [CVE-2023-5678]: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#CVE-2023-5678 [CVE-2023-5363]: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#CVE-2023-5363 [CVE-2023-4807]: https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#CVE-2023-4807 |
