Vulnerability CVE-2018-16149
Published: 2018-11-07
| Description: |
In sig_verify() in x509.c in axTLS version 2.1.3 and before, the PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification blindly trusts the declared lengths in the ASN.1 structure. Consequently, when small public exponents are being used, a remote attacker can generate purposefully crafted signatures (and put them on X.509 certificates) to induce illegal memory access and crash the verifier. |
Type:
CWE-347 (Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature)
