Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Western Digital Sweet B Cryptographic Library (Software Library) (the affected version is unknown). It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown code of the component NIST P-256 Curve Handler. The manipulation of the argument 256 with an unknown input leads to a improper check or handling of exceptional conditions vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-703. The product does not properly anticipate or handle exceptional conditions that rarely occur during normal operation of the product. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

When computing a shared secret or point multiplication on the NIST P-256 curve that results in an X coordinate of zero, the resulting output is not properly reduced modulo the P-256 field prime and is invalid. The resulting output may cause an error when used in other operations. This may be leveraged by an attacker to cause an error scenario or incorrect choice of session key in applications which use the library, resulting in a limited denial of service for an individual user. The scope of impact cannot extend to other components.

The weakness was shared 07/30/2022. The advisory is available at westerndigital.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2022-23003 since 01/10/2022. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.
