Summary

In the Linux kernel, the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) implementation has a vulnerability due to a carry overflow bug in vli multiplication. The condition checking for overflow does not handle the case where r01.m_high is saturated (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) and an additional carry exists from lower bits.

Risk Assessment

The bug can lead to incorrect cryptographic computations, potentially resulting in generation of invalid keys or signatures, enabling attacks on protocols such as ECDH.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that accounts for the carry from lower bits in the vli multiplication function.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ecc - Fix carry overflow in vli multiplication The carry flag calculation fails when r01.m_high is saturated (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) and addition of lower bits overflows. The condition (r01.m_high < product.m_high) doesn't handle the case where r01.m_high == product.m_high and an additional carry exists from lower-bit overflow. When commit 3c4b23901a0c ("crypto: ecdh - Add ECDH software support") introduced crypto/ecc.c, it split the muladd() function in the micro-ecc library into separate mul_64_64() and add_128_128() helpers. It seems the check got lost in translation. Add proper handling for this boundary by accounting for the carry from the lower addition.
