CVE-2022-35409: Releases · Mbed-TLS/mbedtls

An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.28.2 and 3.x before 3.2.0. In some configurations, an unauthenticated attacker can send an invalid ClientHello message to a DTLS server that causes a heap-based buffer over-read of up to 255 bytes. This can cause a server crash or possibly information disclosure based on error responses. Affected configurations have MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled and MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN less than a threshold that depends on the configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check, and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.

CVE-2021-43666: mbedtls_pkcs12_derivation() can't exit when the input password length is 0. · Issue #5136 · Mbed-TLS/mbedtls

A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in mbed TLS 3.0.0 and earlier in the mbedtls_pkcs12_derivation function when an input password's length is 0.

CVE-2021-45450: Release Mbed TLS 3.1.0 · Mbed-TLS/mbedtls

In Mbed TLS before 2.28.0 and 3.x before 3.1.0, psa_cipher_generate_iv and psa_cipher_encrypt allow policy bypass or oracle-based decryption when the output buffer is at memory locations accessible to an untrusted application.

CVE-2021-44732: Release Mbed TLS 2.16.12 · Mbed-TLS/mbedtls

Mbed TLS before 3.0.1 has a double free in certain out-of-memory conditions, as demonstrated by an mbedtls_ssl_set_session() failure.

CVE-2020-36477: Release Mbed TLS 2.24.0 · Mbed-TLS/mbedtls

An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.24.0. The verification of X.509 certificates when matching the expected common name (the cn argument of mbedtls_x509_crt_verify) with the actual certificate name is mishandled: when the subjecAltName extension is present, the expected name is compared to any name in that extension regardless of its type. This means that an attacker could impersonate a 4-byte or 16-byte domain by getting a certificate for the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 address (this would require the attacker to control that IP address, though).

CVE-2020-36478: Release Mbed TLS 2.16.9 · Mbed-TLS/mbedtls

An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.25.0 (and before 2.16.9 LTS and before 2.7.18 LTS). A NULL algorithm parameters entry looks identical to an array of REAL (size zero) and thus the certificate is considered valid. However, if the parameters do not match in any way, then the certificate should be considered invalid.

CVE-2020-36476: Release Mbed TLS 2.16.8 · Mbed-TLS/mbedtls

An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.24.0 (and before 2.16.8 LTS and before 2.7.17 LTS). There is missing zeroization of plaintext buffers in mbedtls_ssl_read to erase unused application data from memory.

CVE-2020-36425: Always revoke certificate on CRL by raoulstrackx · Pull Request #3433 · Mbed-TLS/mbedtls
