CVE-2024-26317: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

In illumos illumos-gate 2024-02-15, an error occurs in the elliptic curve point addition algorithm that uses mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates, causing the algorithm to yield a result of POINTATINFINITY when it should not. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this to interfere with a connection...

CVE-2017-7781: Undefined Security Weakness

An error occurs in the elliptic curve point addition algorithm that uses mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates where it can yield a result "POINTATINFINITY" when it should not. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this to interfere with a connection, resulting in an attacked party computing an...

CVE-2017-7781/CVE-2017-10176: Issue with elliptic curve addition in mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates in Firefox/Java

tl;dr Firefox and Java suffered from a moderate vulnerability affecting the elliptic curve point addition algorithm that uses mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates where it can yield a result POINTATINFINITY when it should not. Introduction Few months ago I was working on a vulnerability affecting th...
