5 security issues in trixie high

There are 5 open security issues in trixie.

1 important issue:
  • CVE-2023-50980: gf2n.cpp in Crypto++ (aka cryptopp) through 8.9.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via DER public-key data for an F(2^m) curve, if the degree of each term in the polynomial is not strictly decreasing.
4 issues postponed or untriaged:
  • CVE-2022-48570: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) Crypto++ through 8.4 contains a timing side channel in ECDSA signature generation. Function FixedSizeAllocatorWithCleanup could write to memory outside of the allocation if the allocated memory was not 16-byte aligned. NOTE: this issue exists because the CVE-2019-14318 fix was intentionally removed for functionality reasons.
  • CVE-2023-50979: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) Crypto++ (aka cryptopp) through 8.9.0 has a Marvin side channel during decryption with PKCS#1 v1.5 padding.
  • CVE-2023-50981: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) ModularSquareRoot in Crypto++ (aka cryptopp) through 8.9.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted DER public-key data associated with squared odd numbers, such as the square of 268995137513890432434389773128616504853.
  • CVE-2024-28285: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) A Fault Injection vulnerability in the SymmetricDecrypt function in cryptopp/elgamal.h of Cryptopp Crypto++ 8.9, allows an attacker to co-reside in the same system with a victim process to disclose information and escalate privileges.
