openSUSE Leap 15.0: 2018:3445-1 Moderate: Python-Cryptography Key Leak
opensuse
October 25, 2018
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.
Description
This update for python-cryptography fixes the following issues:
- CVE-2018-10903: The finalize_with_tag API did not enforce a minimum tag
length. If a user did not validate the input length prior to passing it
to finalize_with_tag an attacker could craft an invalid payload with a
shortened tag (e.g. 1 byte) such that they would have a 1 in 256 chance
of passing the MAC check. GCM tag forgeries could have caused key
leakage (bsc#1101820).
This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.
