CVE-2024-9143

Low
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Use of the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes.

Risk Assessment

Out-of-bounds memory writes can lead to application crashes or even remote code execution.

Recommendation

It is recommended to avoid using low-level GF(2^m) APIs with untrusted data or update the cryptographic library to a version containing fixes.
