Description

rust-openssl provides OpenSSL bindings for the Rust programming language. From 0.10.50 until 0.10.80, CipherCtxRef::cipher_update_inplace in openssl/src/cipher_ctx.rs incorrectly sized output buffers when used with AES key-wrap-with-padding ciphers EVP_aes_{128,192,256}_wrap_pad. For a non-multiple-of-8 input, OpenSSL writes up to 7 bytes past the end of the caller's buffer or Vec, producing attacker-controllable heap corruption when the plaintext length is attacker-influenced. This issue is fixed in version 0.10.80.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

0.10.50 ≤ v < 0.10.80
Affected range stops below 0.10.80, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
v < 0.10.80
Affected range stops below 0.10.80, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
