RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
.OpenSSL now contains protections against Bleichenbacher-like attacks This release of the OpenSSL TLS toolkit introduces API-level protections against Bleichenbacher-like attacks on the RSA PKCS #1 v1.5 decryption process. The RSA decryption now returns a randomly generated deterministic message instead of an error if it detects an error when checking padding during a PKCS #1 v1.5 decryption. The change provides general protection against vulnerabilities such as link:https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2020-25659[CVE-2020-25659] and link:https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2020-25657[CVE-2020-25657]. You can disable this protection by calling the `EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl_str(ctx, "rsa_pkcs1_implicit_rejection". "0")` function on the RSA decryption context, but this makes your system more vulnerable.

Description Alicja Kario 2022-12-14 16:43:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
The RSA decryption API is very easy to use incorrectly, causing issues like CVE-2020-25659 in pyca/cryptography. Please backport the recently merged implementation of implicit rejection to OpenSSL so that issues like that are properly addressed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssl-3.0.7-2.el9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to decrypt a malformed RSA ciphertext using PKCS#1 v1.5 padding

Actual results:
Usually, an error is returned.

Expected results:
A random, but static (for a given ciphertext-key pair) message is returned.
