A vulnerability was found in ARM mbed TLS up to 1.3.21/2.1.9/2.6.x. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component RSASSA-PSS Signature Verification. The manipulation as part of a Crafted Certificate leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
ARM mbed TLS before 1.3.22, before 2.1.10, and before 2.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) via a crafted certificate chain that is mishandled during RSASSA-PSS signature verification within a TLS or DTLS session.
The bug was discovered 02/05/2018. The weakness was disclosed 02/13/2018 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at tls.mbed.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2018-0487 since 11/27/2017. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation.
