Several security vulnerabilities were found in botan1.10, a C++
library which provides support for many common cryptographic
operations, including encryption, authentication, X.509v3 certificates
and CRLs.

  • CVE-2015-5726
    The BER decoder would crash due to reading from offset 0 of an
    empty vector if it encountered a BIT STRING which did not contain
    any data at all. This can be used to easily crash applications
    reading untrusted ASN.1 data, but does not seem exploitable for
    code execution.
  • CVE-2015-5727
    The BER decoder would allocate a fairly arbitrary amount of memory
    in a length field, even if there was no chance the read request
    would succeed. This might cause the process to run out of memory or
    invoke the OOM killer.
  • CVE-2015-7827
    Use constant time PKCS #1 unpadding to avoid possible side channel
    attack against RSA decryption
  • CVE-2016-2194
    Infinite loop in modular square root algorithm.
    The ressol function implementing the Tonelli-Shanks algorithm for
    finding square roots could be sent into a nearly infinite loop due
    to a misplaced conditional check. This could occur if a composite
    modulus is provided, as this algorithm is only defined for primes.
    This function is exposed to attacker controlled input via the
    OS2ECP function during ECC point decompression.
  • CVE-2016-2195
    Fix Heap overflow on invalid ECC point.
  • CVE-2016-2849
    Use constant time modular inverse algorithm to avoid possible
    side channel attack against ECDSA.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.10.8-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your botan1.10 packages.
