CVE-2024-1394: Golang-fips/openssl: memory leaks in code encrypting and decrypting rsa payloads
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 74.8% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: aardvark-dns (AlmaLinux:8) 2:1.10.0-1.module_el8.10.0+3792+03eaed9c, 2:1.10.0-1.module_el8.10.0+3876+e55593a8, 2:1.10.0-1.module_el8.10.0+3858+6ad51f9f; buildah (AlmaLinux:8) 2:1.33.8-4.module_el8.10.0+3876+e55593a8; buildah-tests (AlmaLinux:8) 2:1.33.8-4.module_el8.10.0+3876+e55593a8.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to aardvark-dns (AlmaLinux:8) 2:1.10.0-1.module_el8.10.0+3792+03eaed9c, 2:1.10.0-1.module_el8.10.0+3876+e55593a8, 2:1.10.0-1.module_el8.10.0+3858+6ad51f9f; buildah (AlmaLinux:8) 2:1.33.8-4.module_el8.10.0+3876+e55593a8; buildah-tests (AlmaLinux:8) 2:1.33.8-4.module_el8.10.0+3876+e55593a8 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
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A memory leak flaw was found in Golang in the RSA encrypting/decrypting code, which might lead to a resource exhaustion vulnerability using attacker-controlled inputs. The memory leak happens in github.com/golang-fips/openssl/openssl/rsa.go#L113. The objects leaked are pkey and ctx. That function uses named return parameters to free pkey and ctx if there is an error initializing the context or setting the different properties. All return statements related to error cases follow the "return nil, nil, fail(...)" pattern, meaning that pkey and ctx will be nil inside the deferred function that should free them.

Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.
No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).
Patch and commit links
Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.
Credits

Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
