An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.28.1 and 3.x before 3.2.0. In some configurations, an unauthenticated attacker can send an invalid ClientHello message to a DTLS server that causes a heap-based buffer over-read of up to 255 bytes. This can cause a server crash or possibly information disclosure based on error responses. Affected configurations have MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled and MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN less than a threshold that depends on the configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check, and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202301-08 (Mbed TLS: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - A Lucky 13 timing side channel in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf in library/ssl_msg.c in Trusted Firmware Mbed     TLS through 2.23.0 allows an attacker to recover secret key information. This affects CBC mode because of     a computed time difference based on a padding length. (CVE-2020-16150)

  - An issue was discovered in Arm Mbed TLS before 2.23.0. Because of a side channel in modular     exponentiation, an RSA private key used in a secure enclave could be disclosed. (CVE-2020-36421)

  - An issue was discovered in Arm Mbed TLS before 2.23.0. A side channel allows recovery of an ECC private     key, related to mbedtls_ecp_check_pub_priv, mbedtls_pk_parse_key, mbedtls_pk_parse_keyfile,     mbedtls_ecp_mul, and mbedtls_ecp_mul_restartable. (CVE-2020-36422)

  - An issue was discovered in Arm Mbed TLS before 2.23.0. A remote attacker can recover plaintext because a     certain Lucky 13 countermeasure doesn't properly consider the case of a hardware accelerator.
    (CVE-2020-36423)

  - An issue was discovered in Arm Mbed TLS before 2.24.0. An attacker can recover a private key (for RSA or     static Diffie-Hellman) via a side-channel attack against generation of base blinding/unblinding values.
    (CVE-2020-36424)

  - An issue was discovered in Arm Mbed TLS before 2.24.0. It incorrectly uses a revocationDate check when     deciding whether to honor certificate revocation via a CRL. In some situations, an attacker can exploit     this by changing the local clock. (CVE-2020-36425)

  - An issue was discovered in Arm Mbed TLS before 2.24.0. mbedtls_x509_crl_parse_der has a buffer over-read     (of one byte). (CVE-2020-36426)

  - An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.25.0 (and before 2.16.9 LTS and before 2.7.18 LTS). The     calculations performed by mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod are not limited; thus, supplying overly large parameters     could lead to denial of service when generating Diffie-Hellman key pairs. (CVE-2020-36475)

  - An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.24.0 (and before 2.16.8 LTS and before 2.7.17 LTS). There is     missing zeroization of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read to erase unused application data from memory.
    (CVE-2020-36476)

  - An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.24.0. The verification of X.509 certificates when matching     the expected common name (the cn argument of mbedtls_x509_crt_verify) with the actual certificate name is     mishandled: when the subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name is compared to any name in that     extension regardless of its type. This means that an attacker could impersonate a 4-byte or 16-byte domain     by getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 address (this would require the attacker to     control that IP address, though). (CVE-2020-36477)

  - An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.25.0 (and before 2.16.9 LTS and before 2.7.18 LTS). A NULL     algorithm parameters entry looks identical to an array of REAL (size zero) and thus the certificate is     considered valid. However, if the parameters do not match in any way, then the certificate should be     considered invalid. (CVE-2020-36478)

  - A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in mbed TLS 3.0.0 and earlier in the mbedtls_pkcs12_derivation     function when an input password's length is 0. (CVE-2021-43666)

  - Mbed TLS before 3.0.1 has a double free in certain out-of-memory conditions, as demonstrated by an     mbedtls_ssl_set_session() failure. (CVE-2021-44732)

  - In Mbed TLS before 2.28.0 and 3.x before 3.1.0, psa_cipher_generate_iv and psa_cipher_encrypt allow policy     bypass or oracle-based decryption when the output buffer is at memory locations accessible to an untrusted     application. (CVE-2021-45450)

  - An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.28.1 and 3.x before 3.2.0. In some configurations, an     unauthenticated attacker can send an invalid ClientHello message to a DTLS server that causes a heap-based     buffer over-read of up to 255 bytes. This can cause a server crash or possibly information disclosure     based on error responses. Affected configurations have MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled and     MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN less than a threshold that depends on the configuration: 258 bytes if using     mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check, and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.

    Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in mbedtls, a     lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library, which may allow attackers to obtain     sensitive information like the RSA private key or cause a denial of service     (application or server crash).

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     2.16.9-0~deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your mbedtls packages.

    For the detailed security status of mbedtls please refer to     its security tracker page at:
