Description Michael Kaplan 2020-08-18 16:59:19 UTC
A vulnerability in the in-band key negotiation exists in the AWS S3 Crypto SDK for GoLang versions prior to V2. An attacker with write access to the targeted bucket can change the encryption algorithm of an object in the bucket, which can then allow them to change AES-GCM to AES-CTR. Using this in combination with a decryption oracle can reveal the authentication key used by AES-GCM as decrypting the GMAC tag leaves the authentication key recoverable as an algebraic equation.

* Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
* Red Hat OpenShift ServiceMesh
* Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage
* Red Hat Ceph Storage
* Red Hat Gluster Storage
