Remotely exploitable denial of service in Rosenpass

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Dec 21, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Dec 21, 2023

Package

cargo rosenpass (Rust)

Affected versions

< 0.2.1

Patched versions

0.2.1

Description

Affected versions of this crate did not validate the size of buffers when attempting to decode messages.

This allows an attacker to trigger a panic by sending a UDP datagram with a 1 byte payload over network.

This flaw was corrected by validating the size of the buffers before attempting to decode the message.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
