CVE-2024-27354

An issue was discovered in phpseclib 1.x before 1.0.23, 2.x before 2.0.47, and 3.x before 3.0.36. An attacker can construct a malformed certificate containing an extremely large prime to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption for an isPrime primality check). NOTE: this issue was introduced when attempting to fix CVE-2023-27560.

Impact

Anyone trying to generate a prime and testing the primality of a number.

Patches

https://github.com/phpseclib/phpseclib/commit/ad5dbdf2129f5e0fb644637770b7f33de8ca8575

Workarounds

Using the GMP extension would probably help, assuming that one has its own guardrails.

TuxCare rebuilt phpseclib/phpseclib to address 1 CVE. Fixed in 0.3.10-p3+tuxcare.

It was discovered that phpseclib did not correctly handle RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-30130)

It was discovered that phpseclib did not correctly handle certain characters in certain TLS fields, which could lead to name confusion. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication. (CVE-2023-52892)

It was discovered that phpseclib incorrectly limited the size of prime numbers generated by isPrime. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-27354)

It was discovered that phpseclib did not correctly handle processing the ASN.1 object identifier of a certificate. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-27355)

It was discovered that phpseclib did not perform padding validation in constant time when using AES in CBC mode. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to conduct a padding oracle timing attack and obtain sensitive information.
