script_tag(name:"insight", value:"The BN_mod_sqrt() function, which computes a modular square
root, contains a bug that can cause it to loop forever for non-prime moduli.
Internally this function is used when parsing certificates that contain elliptic curve public
keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point encoded in
compressed form.
It is possible to trigger the infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has invalid explicit
curve parameters.
Since certificate parsing happens prior to verification of the certificate signature, any process
that parses an externally supplied certificate may thus be subject to a denial of service attack.
The infinite loop can also be reached when parsing crafted private keys as they can contain
explicit elliptic curve parameters.
Thus vulnerable situations include:
- TLS clients consuming server certificates
- TLS servers consuming client certificates
- Hosting providers taking certificates or private keys from customers
- Certificate authorities parsing certification requests from subscribers
- Anything else which parses ASN.1 elliptic curve parameters
Also any other applications that use the BN_mod_sqrt() where the attacker can control the
parameter values are vulnerable to this DoS issue.
In the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version the public key is not parsed during initial parsing of the
certificate which makes it slightly harder to trigger the infinite loop. However any operation
which requires the public key from the certificate will trigger the infinite loop. In particular
the attacker can use a self-signed certificate to trigger the loop during verification of the
certificate signature.");
