Remi Tricot-Le Breton 1a5a33396d BUG/MEDIUM: jwe: substitute random CEK on RSA1_5 decryption failure per RFC 7516 #11.5
do_decrypt_cek_rsa() calls EVP_PKEY_decrypt with RSA_PKCS1_PADDING for
RSA1_5 and returns failure (goto end) on decrypt error. This creates a
measurable timing difference between "padding invalid" (fast exit before
content decryption) and "padding valid + AEAD tag fail" (full AES-GCM/CBC
decryption path), exposing the RSA private key to a Bleichenbacher-style
adaptive attack requiring ~10^4-10^6 queries.

Fix: On RSA_PKCS1_PADDING failure, fill decrypted_cek with random bytes
of the buffer size and return success (retval=0). This forces execution
into decrypt_ciphertext() regardless of padding validity, so the attacker
cannot distinguish valid from invalid padding via timing. The AEAD tag
check in decrypt_ciphertext() will still reject the wrong CEK, but the
timing profile is identical for both branches.

RSA-OAEP variants are not affected (mathematically infeasible to craft
valid ciphertext without the private key).

Introduced by RSA1_5 path lacking constant-time fallback.

HAProxy

AWS-LC Illumos NetBSD CrossCompile FreeBSD VTest

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:

  • INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  • BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  • LICENSE for the project's license
  • CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions
