Vulnerability Details

rust-openssl is a set of OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language. In affected versions "ssl::select_next_proto" can return a slice pointing into the "server" argument's buffer but with a lifetime bound to the "client" argument. In situations where the "sever" buffer's lifetime is shorter than the "client" buffer's, this can cause a use after free. This could cause the server to crash or to return arbitrary memory contents to the client. The crate"openssl" version 0.10.70 fixes the signature of "ssl::select_next_proto" to properly constrain the output buffer's lifetime to that of both input buffers. Users are advised to upgrade. In standard usage of "ssl::select_next_proto" in the callback passed to "SslContextBuilder::set_alpn_select_callback", code is only affected if the "server" buffer is constructed within the callback.

Vulnerability Details

Issue summary: A timing side-channel which could potentially allow recovering
the private key exists in the ECDSA signature computation.
Impact summary: A timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations
could allow recovering the private key by an attacker. However, measuring
the timing would require either local access to the signing application or
a very fast network connection with low latency.
There is a timing signal of around 300 nanoseconds when the top word of
the inverted ECDSA nonce value is zero. This can happen with significant
probability only for some of the supported elliptic curves. In particular
the NIST P-521 curve is affected. To be able to measure this leak, the attacker
process must either be located in the same physical computer or must
have a very fast network connection with low latency. For that reason
the severity of this vulnerability is Low.
