CVE-2024-13176· NVD / CVE Program· CNA openssl

Timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computation

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 16/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.61% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Physical access to the device is required. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: OpenSSL OpenSSL 3.0.16, 3.1.8, 3.2.4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to OpenSSL OpenSSL 3.0.16, 3.1.8, 3.2.4 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Issue summary: A timing side-channel which could potentially allow recovering the private key exists in the ECDSA signature computation. Impact summary: A timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations could allow recovering the private key by an attacker. However, measuring the timing would require either local access to the signing application or a very fast network connection with low latency. There is a timing signal of around 300 nanoseconds when the top word of the inverted ECDSA nonce value is zero. This can happen with significant probability only for some of the supported elliptic curves. In particular the NIST P-521 curve is affected. To be able to measure this leak, the attacker process must either be located in the same physical computer or must have a very fast network connection with low latency. For that reason the severity of this vulnerability is Low. The FIPS modules in 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are affected by this issue.
