Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in wolfSSL up to 5.6.x. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown part of the component ECDSA Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a sensitive information vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-922. The product stores sensitive information without properly limiting read or write access by unauthorized actors. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 5.7.0. A safe-error attack via Rowhammer, namely FAULT+PROBE, leads to ECDSA key disclosure. When WOLFSSL_CHECK_SIG_FAULTS is used in signing operations with private ECC keys, such as in server-side TLS connections, the connection is halted if any fault occurs. The success rate in a certain amount of connection requests can be processed via an advanced technique for ECDSA key recovery.

The weakness was shared by Kemal Derya. The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2024-5288 since 05/23/2024. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The attack needs to be approached locally. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1592.
