FreeBSD : Multiple vulnerabilities in Botan (4cd9b19f-f66d-11e5-b94c-001999f8d30b)

The botan developers reports : Infinite loop in modular square root algorithm - The ressol function implements 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,...

The vulnerability of Nettle’s cryptographic library allows attackers to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the ecc256modp function in the Nettle cryptographic library is related to errors in cryptographic transformations. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information...

botan: multiple issues

CVE-2016-2849 ECDSA side channel: ECDSA and DSA signature algorithms perform a modular inverse on the signature nonce k. The modular inverse algorithm used had input dependent loops, and it is possible a side channel attack could recover sufficient information about the nonce to eventually...

MGASA-2016-0102 Updated botan packages fix security vulnerability

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 applicatons reading untrusted ASN.1 data, but does not seem exploitable for code execution CVE-2015-5726. The BER...

Nettle has an unspecified vulnerability

Nettle is a library of basic cryptographic functions. A security vulnerability exists in the 'ecc256modp' function in the ecc-256.c file in versions prior to Nettle 3.2, which stems from a failure of the program to properly handle rounding transfers when implementing P-256 NIST elliptic curves. A...

CVE-2015-8805

The ecc256modq function in ecc-256.c in Nettle before 3.2 does not properly handle carry propagation and produces incorrect output in its implementation of the P-256 NIST elliptic curve, which allows attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than...

CVE-2015-8803

CVE-2015-8803 affects the nettle library: the ecc_256_modp implementation for P-256 may propagate carries incorrectly in nettle before version 3.2, producing incorrect output and potentially allowing unspecified impact. Multiple Nessus reports and advisories (MiracleLinux AXSA-2016-1108, EulerOS ...

CVE-2015-8805

Summary. The CVE-2015-8805 issue affects the nettle cryptographic library prior to version 3.2. The vulnerability is in the elliptic-curve implementation for P-256: the ecc_256_modq function in ecc-256.c does not properly handle carry propagation, producing incorrect output.
