OpenSSL 3.0.4 < 3.0.5-dev Vulnerability
critical Nessus Plugin ID 162673
Language:
Synopsis
The remote service is affected by a vulnerability.Description
The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 3.0.5-dev. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 3.0.5-dev advisory.- The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions. This issue makes the RSA implementation with 2048 bit private keys incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will happen during the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker may be able to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing the computation. SSL/TLS servers or other servers using 2048 bit RSA private keys running on machines supporting AVX512IFMA instructions of the X86_64 architecture are affected by this issue. (CVE-2022-2274)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to OpenSSL version 3.0.5-dev or later.See Also
