Debian LTS: DLA-2402-1 Critical Go Crypto Update - DoS and Forgery Issues

debian lts
Calendar Grey October 8, 2020
Dist Debian Esm H88
The Debian LTS Advisory DLA-2403-1 highlights a severe security vulnerability within the Python framework that compromises data integrity.
CVE-2019-11840 An issue was discovered in supplementary Go cryptography libraries, aka golang-googlecode-go-crypto

Summary

An issue was discovered in supplementary Go cryptography libraries, aka
golang-googlecode-go-crypto. If more than 256 GiB of keystream is
generated, or if the counter otherwise grows greater than 32 bits, the amd64
implementation will first generate incorrect output, and then cycle back to
previously generated keystream. Repeated keystream bytes can lead to loss of
confidentiality in encryption applications, or to predictability in CSPRNG
applications.

CVE-2019-11841

A message-forgery issue was discovered in
crypto/openpgp/clearsign/clearsign.go in supplementary Go cryptography
libraries. The "Hash" Armor Header specifies the message digest
algorithm(s) used for the signature. Since the library skips Armor Header
parsing in general, an attacker can not only embed arbitrary Armor Headers,
but also prepend arbitrary text to cleartext messages without invalidating
the signatures.
