script_tag(name:"insight", value:"ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires
a unique nonce input for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the
nonce value (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce
length and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12 bytes. However
it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16 bytes. In this case only
the last 12 bytes are significant and any additional leading bytes are ignored.
It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are unique. Messages
encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to serious confidentiality
and integrity attacks. If an application changes the default nonce length to be
longer than 12 bytes and then makes a change to the leading bytes of the nonce
expecting the new value to be a new unique nonce then such an application could
inadvertently encrypt messages with a reused nonce.
Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the integrity
guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the integrity of these
ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further affected.
Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS, is safe because
no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user applications that use
this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce length to be longer than 12
bytes may be vulnerable.");
