Vulnerability CVE-2018-9860


Published: 2018-04-12   Modified: 2018-04-15

Description:
An issue was discovered in Botan 1.11.32 through 2.x before 2.6.0. An off-by-one error when processing malformed TLS-CBC ciphertext could cause the receiving side to include in the HMAC computation exactly 64K bytes of data following the record buffer, aka an over-read. The MAC comparison will subsequently fail and the connection will be closed. This could be used for denial of service. No information leak occurs.

Type:

CWE-193

(Off-by-one Error)
