Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2023-04-06 06:37:00 UTC
An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.28.2 and 3.x before 3.2.0. In some
configurations, an unauthenticated attacker can send an invalid ClientHello
message to a DTLS server that causes a heap-based buffer over-read of up to 255
bytes. This can cause a server crash or possibly information disclosure based on
error responses. Affected configurations have MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE
enabled and MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN less than a threshold that depends on the
configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check, and possibly up to
571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
