A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in ARM mbed TLS up to 2.6.x. Affected is the function ssl_parse_client_psk_identity of the file library/ssl_srv.c of the component PSK Identity Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In ARM mbed TLS before 2.7.0, there is a bounds-check bypass through an integer overflow in PSK identity parsing in the ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() function in library/ssl_srv.c.

The bug was discovered 06/26/2017. The weakness was presented 02/14/2018 (GitHub Repository). The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2017-18187 since 02/14/2018. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available.
