SB2020062405 - Multiple vulnerabilities in jsrsasign JavaScript library

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14966)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the affected software allows a malleability in ECDSA signatures by not checking overflows in the length of a sequence and "0" characters appended or prepended to an integer. A remote attacker can cause a security-relevant impact if an application relied on a single canonical signature.

2) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14967)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the RSA PKCS1 v1.5 decryption implementation does not detect ciphertext modification by prepending "\0" bytes to ciphertexts. A remote attacker can prepend these bytes with the goal of triggering memory corruption issues.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
