There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701. This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions like Intel Haswell (4th generation). Note: The impact from this issue is similar to CVE-2017-3736, CVE-2017-3732 and CVE-2015-3193. OpenSSL version 1.0.2-1.0.2m and 1.1.0-1.1.0g are affected. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2n. Due to the low severity of this issue we are not issuing a new release of OpenSSL 1.1.0 at this time. The fix will be included in OpenSSL 1.1.0h when it becomes available. The fix is also available in commit e502cc86d in the OpenSSL git repository.

remediations

Vendor fix, mitigation, or workaround guidance, as published by each source.

A vendor fix is available.

  • Fixedphoenix_contact_psirt

    Update to Firmware Release 2019.0 LTS or later. Update to PLCnext Engineer Release 2019.0 LTS or later. Update A, 30.08.2019 With Firmware Release 2019.6 an option was added to the web-based management that allows the user to permanently disable storage of configuration data to the SD-Card. The device can now be operated without SD-Card and ignores any inserted SD-Card. We recommend using this new configuration option for application scenarios where physical access to the device cannot be restricted effectively.

  • FixedAXC F 2152cisa_csaf_ot

    Follow the advice concerning SD card usage in the manual “Art.-Nr. 107708: UM EN AXC F 2152 Installing, starting up, and operating the AXC F 2152 controller um_en_axc_f_2152_107708_en_02.pdf” that can be found on the product page below:
