Advisory Updated Date: 2023-11-03 22:37 Pacific
Severity: Important

Issue Overview:

A bug has been identified in the processing of key and initialisation vector (IV) lengths. This can lead to potential truncation or overruns during the initialisation of some symmetric ciphers.

A truncation in the IV can result in non-uniqueness, which could result in loss of confidentiality for some cipher modes. (CVE-2023-5363)


Affected Packages:

openssl


Issue Correction:
