Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.148376
Category:Buffer overflow
Title:OpenSSL: Heap memory corruption with RSA private key operation (CVE-2022-2274) - Linux
Summary:OpenSSL is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the RSA; implementation for AVX512IFMA capable CPUs.
Description:Summary:
OpenSSL is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the RSA
implementation for AVX512IFMA capable CPUs.

Vulnerability Insight:
The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA
implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions. This issue makes the RSA
implementation with 2048 bit private keys incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will
happen during the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker may be able
to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing the computation. SSL/TLS servers or
other servers using 2048 bit RSA private keys running on machines supporting AVX512IFMA
instructions of the X86_64 architecture are affected by this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
OpenSSL version 3.0.4.

Solution:
Update to version 3.0.5 or later.

CVSS Score:
10.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
