GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

SUSE-SU-2018:3553-1

Vulnerability from csaf_suse - Published: 2018-10-29 16:28 - Updated: 2018-10-29 16:28
Summary
Security update for python-cryptography
Severity
Moderate
Notes
Title of the patch: Security update for python-cryptography
Description of the patch: This update for python-cryptography fixes the following issues: - CVE-2018-10903: The finalize_with_tag API did not enforce a minimum tag length. If a user did not validate the input length prior to passing it to finalize_with_tag an attacker could craft an invalid payload with a shortened tag (e.g. 1 byte) such that they would have a 1 in 256 chance of passing the MAC check. GCM tag forgeries could have caused key leakage (bsc#1101820)
