| Название | Cesanta Mongoose Embedded Web Server 7.20 Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature |
|---|
| Описание | The mg_chacha20_poly1305_decrypt() function in /src/tls_chacha20.c never computes or verifies the Poly1305 authentication tag during decryption, completely bypassing the authentication guarantee of the AEAD cipher. Because ChaCha20 is a stream cipher, this allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to perform bit-flipping attacks on any TLS record, thus modifying encrypted data in transit with byte-level precision, and the Mongoose server will accept the tampered record as authentic. This renders TLS connections using the built-in TLS implementation completely unauthenticated.
Vendor recognizes that this is a serious vulnerability but is incapable or unwilling to fix it. |
