CVSS v3.1
4.7
Média
| Vetor | AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
wolfSSL and wolfCrypt versions 4.0.0 and earlier
Description
The issue is a timing side channel in ECDSA signature generation, which allows a local attacker to infer information about the nonces used and potentially recover the private key. This occurs because the scalar multiplication in ecc.c might leak the bit length, enabling a lattice attack. The attacker must be able to precisely measure the duration of signature operations.
Recommendations
For wolfSSL and wolfCrypt versions 4.0.0 and earlier, consider configuring with --enable-fpecc, --enable-sp, or --enable-sp-math to mitigate the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the ecc.c scalar multiplication function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
