Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for openssl.
CVE-2023-2975[0]:
| Issue summary: The AES-SIV cipher implementation contains a bug that
| causes it to ignore empty associated data entries which are
| unauthenticated as a consequence. Impact summary: Applications that
| use the AES-SIV algorithm and want to authenticate empty data
| entries as associated data can be mislead by removing adding or
| reordering such empty entries as these are ignored by the OpenSSL
| implementation. We are currently unaware of any such applications.
| The AES-SIV algorithm allows for authentication of multiple
| associated data entries along with the encryption. To authenticate
| empty data the application has to call EVP_EncryptUpdate() (or
| EVP_CipherUpdate()) with NULL pointer as the output buffer and 0 as
| the input buffer length. The AES-SIV implementation in OpenSSL just
| returns success for such a call instead of performing the associated
| data authentication operation. The empty data thus will not be
| authenticated. As this issue does not affect non-empty associated
| data authentication and we expect it to be rare for an application
| to use empty associated data entries this is qualified as Low
| severity issue.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
