RUSTSEC-2024-0398 Bias of Polynomial Coefficients in Secret Sharing

Affected versions of this crate allowed for a bias when generating random polynomials for Shamir Secret Sharing, where instead of being within the range 0, 255 they were instead in the range 1, 255. A description from Cure53, who originally found the issue, is available: The correct method to...

AZL-78531 CVE-2024-9143 affecting package openssl-fips-provider 3.1.2-1

Issue summary: Use of the low-level GF2^m elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes. Impact summary: Out of bound memory writes can lead to an application crash or even a possibility of a remote code execution,...

Enough Polynomials and Linear Algebra to Implement Kyber

I was once talking with a mathematician and trying to explain elliptic curve cryptography. Eventually, something clicked and they went "oh, that! I think there was a chapter about it in the book. You made a whole field out of it?" Yes, in cryptography we end up focusing on a very narrow slice of...

CVE-2019-7167

Zcash, before the Sapling network upgrade 2018-10-28, had a counterfeiting vulnerability. A key-generation process, during evaluation of polynomials related to a to-be-proven statement, produced certain bypass elements. Availability of these elements allowed a cheating prover to bypass a...
