    Package        : golang-go.crypto     Version        : 1:0.0~git20181203.505ab14-1+deb10u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2019-11840 CVE-2019-11841 CVE-2020-9283     Debian Bug     : 952462

    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in golang-go.crypto, the     supplementary Go cryptography libraries.

    CVE-2019-11840

        An issue was discovered in supplementary Go cryptography libraries, aka         golang-googlecode-go-crypto. If more than 256 GiB of keystream is         generated, or if the counter otherwise grows greater than 32 bits, the         amd64 implementation will first generate incorrect output, and then cycle         back to previously generated keystream. Repeated keystream bytes can lead         to loss of confidentiality in encryption applications, or to predictability         in CSPRNG applications.

    CVE-2019-11841

        A message-forgery issue was discovered in         crypto/openpgp/clearsign/clearsign.go in supplementary Go cryptography         libraries. The Hash Armor Header specifies the message digest         algorithm(s) used for the signature. Since the library skips Armor Header         parsing in general, an attacker can not only embed arbitrary Armor Headers,         but also prepend arbitrary text to cleartext messages without invalidating         the signatures.

    CVE-2020-9283

        golang.org/x/crypto allows a panic during signature verification in the         golang.org/x/crypto/ssh package. A client can attack an SSH server that         accepts public keys. Also, a server can attack any SSH client.

    The following Go packages have been rebuilt in order to fix the aforementioned     issues.

    rclone: 1.45-3+deb10u1     obfs4proxy: 0.0.7-4+deb10u1     gobuster: 2.0.1-1+deb10u1     restic: 0.9.4+ds-2+deb10u1     gopass: 1.2.0-2+deb10u1     aptly: 1.3.0+ds1-2.2~deb10u2:
    dnscrypt-proxy: 2.0.19+ds1-2+deb10u1     g10k: 0.5.7-1+deb10u1     hub: 2.7.0~ds1-1+deb10u1     acmetool: 0.0.62-3+deb10u1     syncthing: 1.0.0~ds1-1+deb10u1     packer: 1.3.4+dfsg-4+deb10u1     etcd: 3.2.26+dfsg-3+deb10u1     notary: 0.6.1~ds1-3+deb10u1

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1:0.0~git20181203.505ab14-1+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your golang-go.crypto packages.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

golang-go.crypto was recently updated with a fix for CVE-2019-11840.
This in turn requires all packages that use the affected code to be recompiled in order to pick up the security fix.

CVE-2019-11840

An issue was discovered in supplementary Go cryptography libraries, aka golang-googlecode-go-crypto. If more than 256 GiB of keystream is generated, or if the counter otherwise grows greater than 32 bits, the amd64 implementation will first generate incorrect output, and then cycle back to previously generated keystream. Repeated keystream bytes can lead to loss of confidentiality in encryption applications, or to predictability in CSPRNG applications.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version3 0.0.7-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your obfs4proxy packages.

A flaw was found in the amd64 implementation of salsa20. If more than 256 GiB of keystream is generated, or if the counter otherwise grows greater than 32 bits, the amd64 implementation will first generate incorrect output, and then cycle back to previously generated keystream.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.0~hg190-1+deb8u1.

obfs4proxy has been rebuilt as version 0.0.3-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your golang-golang-x-crypto-dev and obfs4proxy packages, and rebuild any software using golang-golang-x-crypto-dev.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in the supplementary Go cryptography library, golang.org/x/crypto, before     v0.0.0-20190320223903-b7391e95e576. A flaw was found in the amd64 implementation of the     golang.org/x/crypto/salsa20 and golang.org/x/crypto/salsa20/salsa packages. If more than 256 GiB of     keystream is generated, or if the counter otherwise grows greater than 32 bits, the amd64 implementation     will first generate incorrect output, and then cycle back to previously generated keystream. Repeated     keystream bytes can lead to loss of confidentiality in encryption applications, or to predictability in     CSPRNG applications. (CVE-2019-11840)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
